Consultation fees:

A proportion of these fees can be claimed back from Medicare. Private Health funds usually do not provide additional cover for outpatient consultations.
Please Note a valid referral (preferably from your General Practitioner) is required to attract a Medicare rebate.

Fees - Surgery
If you have any procedure as a public patient in a public hospital, there are no out of pocket costs for the procedure as it is covered by Medicare.
​
If you choose to be treated as a privately insured patient in a public hospital, there are no out of pocket costs for the surgery (and the hospital will inform you if there are out of pocket costs for other services, eg. Anaesthesia).
​
If you choose to be treated as a privately insured patient in a private hospital, there are out-of-pocket costs for surgery and anaesthesia, as well as potentially medical imaging (radiology) and pathology (blood tests, tissue specimens taken at surgery). Dr Mihrshahi's current fees for surgery:
*Gastroscopy, Colonoscopy, ERCP - no out of pocket charge
*Laparoscopic/open surgery (eg. hernia, gallbladder, upper gastrointestinal cancer procedures) - $300
*Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for obesity - $500-$700
