Fees

What Do Your Fees Include?

Weight loss surgery has out-of-pocket fees.

You'll work with a team of professionals, including your surgeon, an assistant surgeon, anaesthetists, dietitians and psychologists.

In addition, there may be hospital fees depending on your health insurance policy.

Fee Estimate

All patients will be given an estimate of fees and must give informed financial consent before surgery. Payment is required in full before surgery. We accept all major credit cards and direct bank transfers. We do not offer payment plans. 

Insurance Recommendation

It is strongly recommended that patients wishing to undergo bariatric surgery have appropriate private health insurance before surgery. This is often the most economical option for your surgery.

You will need to have a top cover (usually gold) with most of the health funds, as some of the more basic levels of cover, such as extras-only, may not cover bariatric surgery.

Contact your health fund to check if you are covered and quote the appropriate item number for your chosen weight loss surgery. A 12-month waiting period usually applies if you have recently joined a health fund.

Alternate Fee Strategies

Self-pay is available for select cases.

You may apply to the ATO for early release of superannuation funds to help cover the cost of weight loss surgery.

Please check your eligibility under Compassionate Grounds - Medical Treatment or Medical Transport. 

We partner with SuperCare - an external services provider - that can assist you to make an application via the Compassionate Release of Superannuation (CRS) Program, operated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to cover medical & surgical costs.
