At our practice, you will need to pay the full fee upfront first, and then we can process the Medicare rebate and get it back to you on the spot.

Specifically, here are the steps:

• You need to pay the full fee by cash or card (Debit or credit)
• We will swipe your Medicare card and access the $61.80 rebate for you
• We then swipe your DEBIT card, and put the $61.80 back onto your card on-the-spot.

(You cannot use a CREDIT card for this final process) - You can pay by Credit card but money cannot be reimbursed to a credit account.
