Fees
We aim to ensure our specialist fees are kept at a minimum while delivering world-class care.
Medicare covers the majority of the cost of this service. The remainder is paid by you as a deposit at the time of booking.
The deposit to be paid at the time of booking is $503.20.
Our team will tell you what reimbursements you are eligible for, if any, at the time of booking. If you believe you are eligible for fee exemption, please let us know at the time of booking.
ECG reimbursements
Seer Medical believes ECG data is critical for referring doctors to make an accurate diagnosis and includes ECG monitoring in all studies, even if not explicitly requested by your doctor.
However, if your doctor has indicated an ECG component to your testing on the referral, you may be eligible to receive a Medicare reimbursement of $150.55 following the completion of your report.
Seer Medical processes this claim on your behalf after the final report has been sent to the referring doctor. Please note that this means you may only receive the Medicare reimbursement four (4) to five (5) weeks after the conclusion of your monitoring period.
A valid Medicare card is a requirement for Seer Medical to be able to process reimbursement claims on your behalf.
If your study is not eligible for a Medicare rebate, our staff will inform you before your appointment.
Please note that some studies have specific eligibility requirements which may impact your ability to claim a rebate. If you would like to know more about these requirements please ask our staff for more information about your specific study.
