Payments, Rebates & Policies

Here are some further details about policies and procedures at Savvy Dietetics!

We understand navigating healthcare bureaucracy can be a nightmare, so we aim to make 'how we do things' as transparent as possible.

Pricing & Payment

Pricing: For an up to date list of consult pricing click here.

Payment: An invoice will be emailed to you after the consultation, to be paid via bank transfer. If you would like to pay via Credit Card we can issue a Stripe invoice which includes the processing fee (1.75% + $0.30). If you have a consult at our Sunshine Coast clinic you are welcome to pay on the spot via EFTPOS.

Referrals

See below for what referrals we accept and our policies around this. If being referred under an EPC or EDP plan by your GP, ensure it has the correct practitioner name on.

Terms of Use & Disclaimers

Reschedule & Cancellations

Please let us know ASAP via email (no social media or SMS's please) if a reschedule is needed!

Cancellations within 24 hours of the consult incur a charge of 50% of the appointment fee via invoice, and no-shows or cancellations within 1hr of our booked session incur 100% of the appointment fee.

International Clients

For the moment, we've paused taking on international clients outside of Australia & New Zealand. If you are seeking a dietitian who has an interest in Hypermobility & Co, see the Ehlers Danlos Society Health Professional Directory here.

Being referred to us

Do you bulk bill?

Rebates

You will need to book a GP session to make a referral to us for rebates via EPC or EDP plans.

Ask your GP to put 'SAVVY DIETETICS' for the name on the referral as any of our Dietitians can accept this and see you for consults.

Please do not put Savita as the practitioner on the referral unless you already have a consult organised with her, as she is not taking on new waitlist clients. If you do this, you may need to contact your GP to re-write the referral.

For an address, please use PO Box 215, Greenslopes LPO, 4120, QLD.

It is your responsibility to reach out to us to book an appointment after being referred, we will not reach out to you unless the referrer has explicitly asked us to.

Our Dietitians do not bulk-bill appointments, so all sessions incur a 'gap fee'. If you have reached the Medicare Safety Net, out of pocket cost for consult will be minimal.

Consult rebate estimates can be found here. After paying your consult invoice in full, you can ask for a receipt. We'll ensure this contains all the information needed. Medicare rebates can be claimed via the Medicare Portal on MyGov

Availability

Please note the availability of the practitioner you are seeking to book in with - listed on our 'Booking In' page and online booking link (click practitioner name, then see left side panel) - before creating a care plan or other arrangements. If you are not available for the hours that our practitioners work, we are happy to suggest other practitioners who are good in this space.
