The information I ask you may be rather personal. However, not having it may restrict my capacity to provide you with the standard of medical care that you expect. Medical care requires full knowledge of patient health information by all members of a medical team. To ensure quality and continuity of patient care a patient’s health information may need to be shared with other healthcare providers including doctors and specialists who may become involved in treating you. This may occur through referral to other doctors and for medical tests. Some information may also be provided to Medicare and private health funds if relevant, for billing and medical rebate purposes. Disclosure to others for medical defence purposes may also be required. Should my health information be required for purposes other than those listed above, I understand that my further consent will be required. I acknowledge that I have read and understand the above Privacy Consent Form. I accept the above Privacy Consent Form I agree Fee Structure & Financial Consent Form The initial consultation fee is $270 with a rebate from Medicare of approximately $80.00. (Fees are reviewed every November in accordance with Medicare Australia). Any subsequent consultations (within the 12 month period of your initial referral) will be $135 with a rebate from Medicare of $38.00 Pension & Health Care card holders: Initial consultation is $190.00 with a rebate from Medicare of approximately $80.00. Any subsequent consultations (within the 12 month period of your initial referral) will be $95.00 with a rebate from Medicare of a approximately $38.00.

Payment can be made by Cash, Cheque, Visa, Mastercard or Eftpos. If you are Veteran Affairs Gold card holder your consultation account will be sent directly to Veteran Affairs. However, if you require a pessary please be aware that Veteran Affairs does not cover this cost and payment will be required on the day of your consultation. If you require further testing, such as urodynamic studies and cystoscopy the account for this procedure will be sent directly to your Health Fund. As you are admitted as a day patient at Frances Perry House or Epworth Freemasons, you may be out of pocket for any excess applied by your Health fund. If you require pessary, the fees range from $95 to $125 depending on the type of pessary, which is not claimable from Medicare or your Health fund. If you do need to undergo surgery you will be sent an itemised quote prior to making a definitive booking. No surgery date will be made prior to your appointment with Dr Carey and the quote issued. I accept liability for any services or charges that are incurred as part of my health care and treatment provided by Dr Carey. Prior to undergoing any surgical procedure an itemized estimate of costs will be provided. I understand that any change in my surgery provided by Dr Carey may result in a variation in the original estimation of costs. I have read and understand the above Financial Consent Form and acknowledge and agree to my financial obligations to Dr Carey in undergoing my treatment. I also understand that any surgical accounts are to be finalised within 60 days of surgery. I agree General Information Your general practitioner will continue to be the doctor that you contact for general illnesses and conditions which are not related to your prolapse or bladder problems. If, after your consultation or surgery, you have any questions or concerns you may phone the rooms and speak to our nurse. Our nurse is not available every day, but when she is next in she will return your call. We endeavour to keep to our scheduled appointment times however, circumstances do arise that may cause an unavoidable delay. Whilst we understand it is sometimes necessary to bring children along to your appointment, we have found that children may be intolerant if there are long delays. We seek your consideration of other patients. Please check both the privacy and financial consent checkboxes before submitting.
