The iron infusion service is available to patients without private health insurance. As the service is provided on an outpatient basis, no hospital admission fee is payable.

• The minimum Medicare is $51.25 for the consultation with our haematologist or iron expert nurse practitioner as well as the iron infusion (rebate is more for patients who have reached their Medicare safety net).  Note: patients must have a valid Medicare card to be eligible for this rebate.
• A further concession/pensioner discount is also available.
• Patients are required to fill a prescription for their iron before attending. This is paid directly to the dispensing pharmacy. The cost is currently around $7.70 for health care care holders, or up to $36 for those without a concession (price may vary between pharmacies)

Referred and non-referred patients

Patients do not require a referral for this service, however referrals are welcomed from all referring practitioners.
