How will I get my rebate?
After your insemination we will create an account based on the treatment that you had. This account will be sent out to you in the mail and you will then need to take this invoice into Medicare and lodge a manual claim.
When will I get my rebate?
Once you have lodged the manual claim it will take up to 14 business days for Medicare to deposit the money into your account. Please make certain your bank details are registered with Medicare to ensure a speedy process.
Must I have Private Health Insurance?
No, you do not need Private Health Insurance to have assisted insemination as Medicare covers most of the cost of this treatment. Private Health Insurance will not cover the cost of this treatment.
What if my treatment is cancelled?
Sometimes your cycle may need to be cancelled for medical reasons, this is at the discretion of the nurses in consultation with the specialist.
If your cycle is cancelled, we will need to charge you a fee of $476.70 to cover the time we spent with you and for any tests that you had. We will then give you a receipt to take to Medicare, to claim your refund of $476.70.
What happens if I am pregnant when starting the cycle?
If you are lucky enough to have this happen (it does happen!) we will give you a full refund less an administration fee of $200 and wish you the best of luck for your pregnancy.
What if I have any questions?
Please phone 02 6175 9000 and we will be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
