Billing information
What We Offer
At Neuropsychological Consulting Australia, we aim to provide clear and transparent information about fees and billing before appointments are confirmed.
The cost of an assessment or therapy session will depend on the type of service required, the complexity of the referral question, and the level of reporting or documentation needed. A fee estimate will be provided at the time of booking.
Where appropriate, services may be funded through third parties, including:
Medicare
TAC
WorkSafe / WorkCover
NDIS
Legal, medico-legal, or insurance referrals
Self-funded private referrals
For third-party funded assessments, written funding approval is generally required before an appointment can be confirmed. This helps ensure that the scope of the assessment, reporting requirements, and billing arrangements are clear from the outset.
Neuropsychological assessment services are not always eligible for Medicare rebates. Where Medicare rebates may apply, a valid Mental Health Care Plan is required from your GP addressed to Dr Natalie Grima. Clients are encouraged to contact us before booking if they are unsure about funding options or whether a rebate may apply.
Payment arrangements, cancellation fees, and any additional reporting requirements will be discussed prior to the appointment.
