Private health insurance funds and policies vary widely. Depending on the operation to be performed and the specific details of your private health insurance policy, your private health fund may cover nothing, some, or all of the costs associated with the operation. You will be provided with a written quotation after your consultation. However it is important for you to check with your health fund prior to surgery to ensure you are covered for the procedure.
The specialist anaesthetist involved in your operation will also provide a separate quote.
If you require pathology or radiology tests as part of your management then you may receive a separate invoice from these specialists.
