Fees
A/Prof Jamrozik charges a once-off out-of-pocket "gap" of $250 for patients admitted to hospital under his direct care. This fee reflects the need for continuous availability during your hospitalisation for acute illness. Secretarial staff will be in contact with you to pay this fee by phone prior to the end of your admission. Inpatient opinions requested by other doctors do not attract this fee. All other costs will be billed directly to your insurer. Uninsured patients will be charged the equivalent of the AHSA consultation fees.
All appointments (face-to-face and telehealth) attract a private fee, which is payable on the day of appointment via credit or debit card:
Standard initial consultation $350
Complex initial consultation (60min) $500
Standard review consultation $150
Complex review consultation (30 min) $250
Medicare rebates apply to all services with a valid referral. Medicare claims will be submitted by administrative staff and paid into the bank account you have provided to Medicare.
Medicare-ineligible patients will be charged a fee equal to the Medicare rebate for the relevant consultation.
Patients seeking reimbursement for fees from Workcover or TAC will be given an invoice for use in making a claim.
