How much payment will we receive?

The maximum amount available through the VGDS voucher is $916. This amount is inclusive of the client co-payment fees. The amount you will be paid will be $916 minus the client's contribution. Please do not go over this amount, we can only pay up to this per voucher.

Please add up the fee costs from treatment and then subtract how much the client has paid to you. It is advised to keep tab of the treatment and the costs as you as you do not go over the capped amount.

Any patient co-payments cannot be claimed against private health insurance.

Example:

How much payment will we receive

In this example the client has had 5 visits (13/10/23, 18/10/23, 24/10/23, 26/10/23 and 27/10/23).

  • Of the 5 visits, the client has paid 4 lots of co-payment fees of $31(as indicated on the voucher) which is a total of $124.
  • The client has received treatment costing $919.39 which is above the maximum amount available ($916).

Therefore, the private provider will be paid $916 minus $124, which is $ $792 from the authorising agency.
