Payment Options

Out of Pocket Expenses/Gaps/Co-payments

Out of pocket expenses / Gaps / Co-payments, are amounts payable by the patient over and above any payments made by the health fund or Medicare. The Out of pocket expenses / Gap / Co-payment amount will vary depending on the anaesthetic fee and your health fund/Medicare rebate.

Out of pocket expenses have risen because the Commonwealth Government has not indexed Medicare rebates adequately for the last 25 years.

Health Fund rebates are only available on Inpatient services (ie. In hospital service)

Outpatient services (i.e. Non hospital services) attract only a Medicare rebate (NO health fund rebate)

Medicare rebates are applicable for both Inpatient and Outpatient services

Simplified Billing

If the Doctor chooses to charge no out of pocket Expense, Metropolitan Anaesthesia will submit the account directly to the health fund & Medicare on the patient’s behalf.

Once the account is paid, the health fund will send a copy of the statement of benefits to the patient advising what items and fee have been paid to the Doctor.

Patients without private health insurance (uninsured) / Patients with overseas insurance / Patients with no Australian Medicare (incl. Reciprocal Medicare Cover)

Patients who are uninsured, overseas patients or with no Australian Medicare (Incl. Reciprocal cover) are required to pay the full Anaesthesia fee before their anaesthetic. 

An estimate of fees will be provided to the patient at the soonest availability and time permitting, payment is required at least 7 days prior or no later than 1 day prior to surgery.
