How to Charge Gaps

ANZICS strongly recommends that you consider the measures outlined in the page on Financial Consent if you are considering charging gaps.

Billing practices may vary slightly between Health Funds, but in general, the following principles apply;

·          Send the full account for the patient to the Health Fund.

·          Send an account for the gap payment to the patient, as well as a copy of this account to the Health Fund as well.

·          The Health Fund will forward their component of the payment to you.

·          The patient is expected to forward payment of the gap to you directly.
