Fee Structure


Obstetric (pregnancy) ultrasound scans are charged a fee for service, starting at $110.00 per ultrasound scan. Fees are payable at the time of the ultrasound scan by credit cards, debit cards by way of EFTPOS transfer or cash in Australian currency. The clinic has a policy of not accepting personal cheques. The level of fee structure may be obtained by telephone enquiries when appointments are made. Bulk billing for pregnancy scan is not available at the clinic.

In cases when appropriate referrals for ultrasound scans are made by a medical practitioner, a Medicare rebate may be claimable by the patient. The matter of Medicare rebate claims rests entirely with the determinations of Medicare (Health Insurance Commission), the referring doctor and the patient. Under certain circumstances, COGUS clinic may issue an invoice and receipt without a Medicare Benefits Schedule item number. In other words, an MBS item number can only be issued when the medical situation fulfils all the criteria set out by the HIC to meet a Medicare rebate claim.

Abdominal Gynae Scans are charged $130.00. Vaginal gynaecological (non-pregnancy) scans are charged from $100 and upwards, when the patient presents with a valid Medicare card, a signed ultrasound scan referral request form from a registered medical practitioner, and the medical situation fulfils all the criteria set out by the HIC to meet a Medicare rebate claim.

Bulk billing is not available at the clinic for any medical services. The level of fee structure may be obtained by telephone enquiries when appointments are made. Patients without Medicare entitlement for gynaecological scans are charged $ 130.00 at the time of the visit.
