Fees

Initial assessment sessions take between 60 and 90 minutes, dependent on need. Following the initial assessment you will receive a short summary letter including agreed goals and recommendations for next steps. The initial assessment, including face to face time, admin time, provision and scoring of any standardised measures, and short summary letter is $235.

If you require an assessment with a full report this can be provided for $385. Reports required within the course of therapy can be provided on a pro rata basis.

Assessment is often ongoing and if further specialised sessions are needed these are billed as treatment. The majority of treatment sessions are 50 minutes. Treatment sessions are $130. This includes face to face time plus 10 minutes for documentation and any follow-up between sessions.

There may be some occasions when we offer shorter ‘check-in’ sessions, normally towards the end of a course of therapy. These are charged on a pro-rata basis.

Billing

All services provided are within the scope of practice of occupational therapy and are provided by an occupational therapist. Private occupational therapy is not covered by MSI. However your personal or work insurance plan may cover you for occupational therapy assessment and/or treatment. Please check your coverage with your insurance provider. We do not offer direct billing but do provide you with all the information you need to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Cancellations

We require 48 hours notice for cancellations. Cancellations within a 48 hour period or non-attended sessions will be charged the full session fee. Sessions cancelled with more than 48 hours notice can be rescheduled with no charge. However, repeated cancellations will incur a fee of half the session cost. In this event we will contact you before charging, to discuss cancellations and any changes needed, to clarify whether you wish to continue using your slot and ensure you understand that future cancellations would incur a fee. Repeated cancellations can have a negative impact on you being able to meet your therapy goals.

Payment

Invoices are sent via email after each session and are due on receipt. Payment can be made by e-transfer, cash or credit card. No further sessions will be offered when there are outstanding invoices.
