Patient Info
Financial Information
The standard fee charged in this office is 80% of the Australian Medical
Association recommended fee. There is a discount for early payment. 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.
If you require more information, please do not hesitate to call us on 03 9486 9554 during office hours.
