Travel Fees

The travel cost will be calculated using the following formula; Total kilometers divided by 60, multiplied by your clinician’s hourly service rate. However, the amount charged to you may be less if your clinician has more clients in your area on the day of your appointment as the travel costs will be ameliorated across the clients.
