Dr Simon Braham Fee Structure
In order to keep fees to a minimum fees must be paid at the end of the consultation (Major credit cards are accepted.)
Aged Pensioners are offered a discount, applicable only if the account is paid in full on the day of service.
Accounts that are not paid on the day will attract a $15.00 surcharge.
For patients with private health insurance Dr Braham participates in the access gap cover so generally you are $500 out of pocket (excluding cosmetic) for Dr Braham.
We advise checking with your health insurance to see if you have an excess or are covered for the surgery by providing them with the item number a list can be found here. https://www.melbourne-ent.com.au/prices/ent-medicare-item-numbers/
Private Patients with no health insurance Rebate applies if you have a valid Medicare card.
