Hospital charges are for Castlecrag Private Hospital, effective November 2017.

NB: Your rebates will be less if you do not have highest hospital cover. Lesser tables may have an excess or copayment up to $1,000 to pay to the hospital.

The anaesthetist fee depends on the length of the operation. The listed anaesthetist fee is only an approximation.

The hospital charges your fund varying amounts depending on your fund's contract with the hospital.

Sometimes there is a need to do a supplementary operation such as alar base reduction at 6 months. That is charged for separately and is usually performed under local anaesthetic at the Brookvale rooms.
