I do prefer receiving a referral from your GP, although this is not essential. Some insurance companies ask that you have a GP referral in order for you to be able to claim against your medical insurance.
How quickly can I access treatment?
You need to discuss the nature of the problem with my secretary, she will discuss with me and make a booking time.
How much does it cost?
The cost of your consultation or surgery varies depending on your condition. Initial consultation charges vary from $200 to $350. The amount covered by your health insurance depends on the policy you hold. Common health insurance policies will cover 80% or more of the costs. My secretary will be able to inform you of approximate costs.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes we accept visa and mastercard. Payment should be made at the time of consultation.
Public or private treatment?
For non-urgent conditions and elective operations there may be a waiting time in the public sector. These cases will be seen quicker in the private system.
What happens if we don't have insurance?
My secretary will be able to tell you what will be the best and most efficient way to access treatment both in the public and private sector. You can then make an informed decision depending of the urgency of the problem.
