    my Ob is seems so cheap compared to others on here

    first visit is $160 (medicare rebate $68.75)
    all visits after that $85 (medicare rebate $34.40)
    if he does a ultrasound it costs $60 (medicare rebate $29.75)
    Handling fee $1800 (about $300 8medicare rebate)

    i am no where near the SN i went and asked the other week and they said i only have like 300 and something but i think i should have more then that. does it go off the whole visit or just the amount u get back?

    Just the amount you get back from Medicare.

    *UPDATE*

    I paid my management fee yesterday, which was $1060.40, I had just passed the MSN the day before by a whopping $1.80
    And I got back $463.40 wooo hoooo which was $200 more than if I hadn't already passed the safety net

    My next appointment is in two weeks so I will see what my OOP charges are going to be after that date, but was pretty happy with the saving and it may my Management fee less that $600, not as good before the changes but it has certainly made a difference
