Fees

Consultation Fees

Private health insurance does not cover the costs of consultations. Medicare will cover a portion of the cost however there will be an “out of pocket cost” of between $45 – $130 depending on the length and complexity of the consultation. We encourage you to settle the account on the day and we can send the claim directly to Medicare on your behalf. Eftpos, Visa, Mastercard and Amex facilities are available. If you are a pensioner or student or have a Health Care Card you will be charged a discounted fee.
You will require a valid referral from your GP to claim the Medicare rebate.

Procedure Fees

Private Hospital Facility Cost
Depending on your level of cover and your chosen excess with your health fund, there may be an out of pocket cost for the private hospital facility. You will need to contact your insurer to confirm what this may be.

When contacting your insurer you will need to quote the following;

Procedure Item Number – Colonoscopy 32090, Gastroscopy 30473

Provider Number – Dr Crostella 040947CA, Dr Goel 513203CJ

Doctors Fee
Both Dr Crostella and Dr Goel are “Gap Providers” meaning if you have private health insurance there will be no cost to yourself for their fee. Upon completion of your procedure we will bill your health fund directly.
Anaesthetist Fee
There may also be an out of pocket or gap fee for the anaesthetist. At the time of booking your procedure we will inform you of the anaesthetist’s details so you may contact them and discuss what this fee may be.

Uninsured Patients

For uninsured patients who wish to have their procedure performed in a private hospital facility a quote will be provided upon request.
