Hospital Fees

If you possess private health insurance we will contact your health fund prior to your procedure to ensure that you are eligible for surgery under your level of cover. We will provide you with an Informed Financial Consent which will outline any potential costs associated with the hospital portion of your procedure. We also recommend contacting your health fund directly with any questions you have regarding your health cover. Please note you may incur other costs related to your procedure that are not covered by your health fund, these can include but are not limited to the following:

• Surgeon fees
• Anaesthetist fees
• Pharmacy (medication required during or after your admission)
• Pathology (blood tests, skin samples, polyps, etc)
• Imaging or X-Ray
• Medical and Allied Health Practitioner fees

If you are not covered by private health, or any other form of cover, you will be required to cover the cost of your procedure. We will issue you with a quote for potential costs for the hospital portion of your procedure. This quote is valid for 30 days from the date of quotation.
