PROCEDURE AND WOUND FEES

Please be advised that as of the 1st March, 2023 there will be a dressing fee applied for all dressings for patients. This is an “out of pocket” fee which Medicare will not cover.

The cost of this will be determined by the extent of the dressing but will range from between $10 and $50.

Removal of lesions and other procedures will incur an “out of pocket” fee of $75 and must be paid on the day of the procedure.
