How much does an online weight loss consult cost in Australia?
What you pay for, what Medicare does and doesn't cover, and the questions to ask before you book.
By the Bodymod team ·
Most online weight loss services in Australia charge a private consult fee, and you pay for any medication separately at the pharmacy. Bodymod shows you the consult fee before you book, with no hidden extras.
What does the consult fee cover?
The fee covers your doctor's time and advice in the consult, and your plan in your account afterwards. At Bodymod you can also message your care team and report side effects at no extra charge.
Does Medicare cover online weight loss consults?
Bodymod consults are private and have no Medicare rebate. Some GP telehealth consults can be bulk billed, but usually only with a GP you've seen in person in the past year.
How much does the medication cost?
The price depends on the medication, the dose and the pharmacy. You pay the pharmacy directly when you fill your eScript. Prices can differ a lot between pharmacies, so it's worth comparing. Your doctor can talk you through costs during your consult.
Can I get a refund?
At Bodymod you can cancel up to 24 hours before your consult for a full refund, then pick a new time. If we cancel, we refund you in full.
What should I ask before I book with any service?
Ask what the consult fee is, whether there are subscription or membership fees, whether the medication price is included or separate, how follow-ups are charged, and whether you can use any pharmacy. A good service answers all of these upfront.
