Dr Tang’s Practice charges fees for consultations and procedures in accordance with the recommendation of the Australian Medical Association (AMA). You will receive rebates from Medicare and/or your Private Health Funds, but there will be some out of pocket expenses for services provided.
Gynaecological Surgery
A major portion of your surgical costs will be covered by your private health fund. In general, fees vary depending on the complexity of your surgery. At your pre-operative consultation, Dr Tang will provide an estimated quote based on the likely findings and procedure(s) required. However, the actual findings at the time of surgery may vary, and actual costs may vary according to the actual procedure required.
No additional fees are payable for inpatient consultations during your hospital stay following surgery.
After discharge from hospital, you will require a post-operative follow-up visit in the rooms. Dr Tang will discuss your operative findings and procedure in detail with you, as well as the final results of the histopathology.
Surgical Assistant’s Fees
Most major surgery require the use of a surgical assistant in order to perform your surgery. Dr Tang has a dedicated group of surgical assistants who work closely within the team. There may be out-of-pocket expenses payable to the surgical assistant.
Pathology Tests
For Inpatient Pathology Services, Dr Tang uses Pathology service providers that bulk bill directly to Medicare. There will be no out-of-pocket expenses for Inpatient Pathology Tests.
Anaesthetic Services
There may be out-of-pocket expenses payable to the Anaesthetist on top of Health Fund rebates. This is payable directly to your Anaesthetist.
