Before seeing a specialist
If you and your doctor agree on a specialist, your doctor will write a referral to that specialist. You can also talk to your doctor or insurer about other options. This can include getting an open referral(opens in new tab).
The guide to costs page can help you understand what may happen when you visit a specialist and avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs. Ask a specialist how much an initial appointment will cost.
When seeing a specialist
At your initial appointment, you should receive a customised quote from your specialist. It should detail your specialist’s fees and any out-of-pocket costs you might have to pay for this procedure. Additional fees may be charged based on further investigations and your circumstances.
There should be no extra administrative, booking, or hidden costs applied.
