Financial Consent
An out-of-pocket cost may arise when the amount covered by Medicare and/or your private health insurance does not cover the full fee of a service. We ask that your account for consultation be paid on the day of your appointment. Should you require a procedure on the day of consultation (such as photographs, biopsy or nasoendoscopy), we will bulk bill you (or charge your private health fund without gap payment) for this. Further discounts are at the discretion of Dr. Manzie. Should there be an outstanding account, further appointments may not be offered until this has been settled. We will provide you with a quote for any proposed procedure to ensure you are fully informed of any fees that may occur.
