You can ask about the proposed care, alternatives, likely costs, timing, health-fund processing and what may happen if treatment changes.
The information that applies to you can depend on the care being considered and your individual circumstances. Ask the clinic to explain the relevant fees, proposed steps and timing before deciding. Where a third-party provider or private cover is involved, check its current terms directly with that provider or fund.
- Ask what is included in the amount discussed.
- Ask about any costs that may depend on further assessment or care.
- Take time to consider the information and ask further questions if needed.
