Financial Information
Once it has been determined that you need an operation, my staff
will be able to
provide you with a cost estimate for your surgery.
This can be a confusing area and the office staff will readily offer
you assistance in navigating the financial part of your surgery.
This includes help with paper work, hospital admissions, medical
fund rebate and the like.
The standard fee charged in this office is the Australian Medical
Association
recommended fee. This means that in most instances there
will be a portion of your surgical fee which will not be covered
by Medicare or your health fund. It is important
that you ask about
this gap prior to receiving treatment. With respect to Orthopaedic
surgery, some of the operations will receive a benefit from your
insurer whilst others
will not. We are able to give you the appropriate
advice on all these matters and give
you accurate estimates of what
the final costs might be. Please be advised that when
you have an
operation there is a fee for your attending surgeon, his assistant,
the anaesthetist and the hospital.
Our staff are fully informed about charges and rebates and will
be able to help you navigate your way through this complex area.
Contact 02 9489 9611 during office hours if you have any enquiries.
