Financial Information

Once it has been determined that you need an operation, our 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.

Medicare pays for most consultations, our standard fee charged in this office is
slightly more than the medicare. 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.
