Fees

From July 1st 2022 the government has altered the Medicare rebates for optometric services. As a result we have restructured our billing procedures to reflect these. These are outlined below:

Rebates

Rebates are done on the day through Medicare Online Claiming where rebates go directly into your nominated bank account.
