Finance
In order to minimise our administrative costs, and in line with current professional practice, our accounts are raised at the time of treatment. We accept all health funds and via HICAPS, we can process on the spot claims and payments.
We expect payment at the time of treatment. In some cases you may be requested to provide a deposit prior to finalisation of treatment. When costs are anticipated to be over $1500, payment in advance of treatment attracts a 5% saving. Please note, however, that no discount is offered to accounts paid using American Express.
