You should expect to receive a bill for anaesthetic services. Medicare and your Health Fund will cover a portion of the fee and you will be required to pay any amount outstanding. You may be offered a discount for early payment. This will be indicated on your bill. You may pay by post, telephoning our office, or by secure credit card transaction through this website.
If you agree to the fee prior to your operation, some health funds will offer rebates above the Medicare Schedule Fee, reducing your out of pocket expenses. You are encouraged to seek an Estimate of Fees from this web site or call our office to take advantage of this.
In some circumstances, your anaesthetist may bill your Health Fund directly, in which case you may only be levied for the outstanding amount. It may be that there is nothing further to pay and you will receive no bill. |
