Private Services Fees – Explained
In the majority of cases, you will need a full one hour assessment. This cost will include a written opinion or assessment letter and/or a suggested treatment plan and a formal diagnosis where indicated.
There may be additional fees payable after the assessment, for which you will receive an invoice: for example, for the costs for prescribing medication agreed between you and the psychiatrist at the time of assessment.
You could also be charged by the minute, for any extra time spent in the consultation if the meeting runs over one hour, or where communications with you or reviewing notes etc. exceeds what is deemed reasonable, but this is at the discretion of the clinician.
