Your consultation fee will be advised when making your appointment. If you are eligible for Medicare rebates, on receipt of your fee payment your claim will be submitted directly to Medicare.
Your surgery cost will be advised prior to your surgery. You will receive an informed financial consent form regarding out-of-pocket expenses for the surgeon’s fee when you make your booking for surgery. Other costs will include anaethetist, surgical assistant, and hospital expenses, which are invoiced directly by these parties. Estimates can be obtained prior to surgery from these parties.
Private health insurance funds only cover medical fees up to certain levels. Most fees charged will be above these levels so an out-of-pocket expense can be anticipated by most patients regardless of their insurance status.

Patients who pay the total fee upfront for surgery are eligible to claim rebates. Once surgery has taken place, a receipt with the required information is issued and this can be submitted to your private health fund and/or Medicare to claim your rebates.

The medical gap payment is the difference between what Medicare and your private health fund will pay towards your treatment, and what your surgeon charges. This gap is payable to the patient. Depending on your private health insurance, there may be gaps or excesses payable to other doctors involved in your care or to the hospital.
“No Gap” schemes set the fee the surgeon can charge so that no gap payment is required. This then represents a discount on the surgeon’s standard fee. Our staff will advise you regarding out-of-pocket expenses if you book surgery.
