PAYMENT DETAILS
Dr Conway's practice is a private service provider, this means typically payment in full is expected at the time of the appointment. Patients are then able to claim some of the fees back from Medicare if they have a referral letter from their GP.
For inpatient services, we provide “No-Gap” care if you are reviewed by Dr Conway whilst you are in the hospital.
This is not a bulk billing service.
A longer consultation will be required for initial appointments, individuals with multiple endocrine issues, and complex issues.
