Practical information

Fees and funding

Funding pathways vary depending on the reason for referral, ACC status, insurance cover and the treatment being considered. The clinic team can provide practical guidance, but funding approval is not guaranteed.

Funding pathways

ACC

ACC may apply where an accepted injury claim is relevant. Approval for consultations, imaging or treatment depends on ACC requirements and individual circumstances.

Private health insurance

If you have insurance, check your policy and any pre-approval requirements. The clinic can provide information your insurer may request.

Self-funded care

Some patients choose to self-fund appointments or treatment. Costs and practical requirements should be confirmed before proceeding.

Public hospital care

Public hospital care may be more appropriate in some circumstances. Mr Thompson can advise if referral to another pathway should be considered.

Questions to ask

  • Does my policy or claim cover the appointment?
  • Is pre-approval needed before consultation, imaging or treatment?
  • What excess, co-payment or exclusions apply?
  • What information does the funder need from the clinic?
