Your private health insurance will cover most of your surgical costs, depending on your insurer and your particular policy. We will provide you with a written quote stating the Medicare item numbers for your procedure and an estimate of surgical fees. You should discuss this with your insurer before surgery. Your anaesthetist will also usually issue you with a written quote prior to surgery.
