In order to maximise your Medicare Rebate, your referral to Adelaide Shoulder & Upper Limb Clinic needs to be current and valid, otherwise Medicare will not provide you a rebate. Referrals from your GP last 12 months from initial consultation. Referrals from another Specialist last 3 months from your initial consultation. If you do not have a referral, or do not bring the referral to the initial appointment, you are not permitted to claim a rebate from Medicare or may only be able to claim GP rates. The onus is on you, the patient/parent/guardian, to ensure your referral is kept current.

Fees: Initial Consultation $175.00 (Medicare Rebate $86.15) · Follow Up $110.00 (Medicare Rebate $43.35). Full payment required on the day.

Third party and WorkCover accounts are to be paid in full on the day of consultation by the patient if the claim has not been accepted.
