Our Fees
TissuPath provides boutique histopathology and cytogenetic services primarily to private patients.
Our fee schedule reflects:
- The training, expertise and specialty focus of our pathologists
- TissuPath's provision of rapid, personalized reporting of results
- The fact that we provide some services, such as prostate volumetrics and specialized immunohistochemistry testing, as well as gross and microscopic colour photos in our reports
As a result, our fees are generally somewhat higher than the relevant Medicare rebate.
Most health insurance companies will fund small difference between our fees and the Medicare rebate. A few companies do not provide adequate reimbursement for specialist pathology testing, and in these instances the patient will be liable for the difference, which will in virtually all cases be less than $100.
Some of our services, despite being of fully-established benefit to the patient, are not Medicare rebateable; in this instance, we must recoup the full cost from the patient.
If you intend to use TissuPath for your histopathology testing, we would appreciate your advising the patient about TissuPath's histopathology and cytopathology fees in advance, and the reasons for our fees often being higher than the Medicare rebate.
We are always happy to discuss our services and fees with you or with your patients. We can be reached at 03-9815-1588, 08:00 – 17:00, M-F excluding public holidays.
