Consultation Fees & Services
Transparent pricing for all our medical services and consultations
Understanding Our Fee Structure
At South City Health, we strive to provide transparent pricing for all our services. Our fees vary based on your enrollment status, age, and whether you hold a Community Services Card (CSC), ACC coverage, or High User Health Card (HUHC).
Registered Patients
Patients enrolled with our practice receive subsidized consultation fees and can access our services via video, phone, or in-clinic visits at the same rate.
Casual Patients
Non-enrolled patients can still access our services for in-clinic appointments at our casual rates, which vary based on age and subsidy eligibility.
