Rebates
Dietitian
In person (face-to-face) consulation rebates include:
In person (face-to-face) consulation rebates include:
- Medicare - Your GP might refer you to Funky Forest Health & Wellbeing under an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) referral or an Eating Disorder Management Plan (EDMP) referral. An amount of $54.60 will be covered by Medicare, with the remaining being an out of pocket fee paid by you. How this works is you would pay the full consultation fee, and be provided a receipt to claim a rebate of $54.60 back from Medicare. The out of pocket fee is therefore $75.40 for a 60 minute general consultation, or $20.40 for a 30 minute consultation. If you are the holder of a Health Care Card or are a pensioner, then show this at your appointment and if pre-arranged and spaces on Casey's quota are available, you will be bulk billed for all review appointments (i.e there will be no out of pocket fee), so long as you have an EPC or EDMP.
- Private Health Funds - If you have Private Health Insurance, all or some of your appointment may be covered by your Private Health Fund. The extent of the cover will depend on your specific level of cover. Please check with your Private Health Fund to find out exact rebate amounts you can claim.
- Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) - DVA Health Cards (Gold) are accepted as full payment with an EPC referral from your Doctor.
- Full Cost - If you are coming to the Funky Forest Health & Wellbeing Clinic, with nil options of those listed above (i.e. no EPC, no Private Health Fund Cover and no DVA) then the full fee will be incurred for the service you are requiring.

- Medicare - Your GP might refer you to Funky Forest Health & Wellbeing under an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) referral or an Eating Disorder Management Plan (EDMP) referral.

An amount of $54.60 will be covered by Medicare, with the remaining being an out of pocket fee paid by you. How this works is you would pay the full consultation fee, and be provided a receipt to claim a rebate of $54.60 back from Medicare.
