Surgery Fees

Private Health Funds

The Skin Cancer Day Surgery has contracts with most major Health Funds.

Prior to scheduling your surgery, we will complete a hospital eligibility check with your Health Fund and advise you of any excess and/ or any co-payments that are required. Your excess amount is dependent upon the level of insurance cover and/ or agreement with your Health Fund. All fees are payable on the day of admission.

An out-of-pocket expense will be incurred if your Health Fund is not contracted by Skin Cancer Day Surgery, or if you do not have private health insurance. You will be notified of any costs when scheduling your surgery.

Please contact reception on (03) 9888 3590 to enquire whether we have a contract with your Health Fund.

Non-Insured Patients

For Non-Insured patients, your surgical admission fees include doctor's fees and facilities fees. You will be advised of these fees prior to scheduling your surgery. These will be charged as an out-of-pocket expense, and are payable on the day of admission.

Admission fees will depend on the type of surgery booked - either Mohs micrographic surgery or Standard surgery.

Please contact us on (03) 9888 3590 to enquire about our surgery fees as a non-insured patient.

Ambulance Fees

Given recent changes to legislation, Health Care Card holders are no longer covered for Ambulance transport to and from Private Hospital facilities. All ambulance transport must be deemed medically necessary, otherwise you may be liable for ambulance or transport fees.
