Surgical Procedure Costs
Most of our patients will prefer to have their surgery performed in a private hospital. The fees for surgery depend on what procedure(s) are involved as the surgery needs to be tailored for each individual patient. There will usually be a gap payment for surgery in private hospitals and you will receive a quote for your fees prior to your surgery. Other fees associated with your surgery are the Anaesthetist fee, Assistant Surgeon fee and Pathology fee for processing of any surgical specimens. Medicare and/or your health fund may partially reimburse some of these fees.
Medicare eligible patients without private health insurance may choose to have surgery performed in a public hospital. Dr Johansson currently operates on public patients at Liverpool Hospital. You will be under the care of Dr Johansson and her Fellows and Registrars in the public hospital. The waiting list for surgery in the public hospital is longer (approximately 6-12 months for non-urgent conditions) than private hospitals.
