Gastroenterologist Fees

I have agreed to a no gap billing arrangement for all the private health funds. You will not incur any out of pocket expenses and will not receive any bills for my fees.

Anesthetist Fees

I have asked my anesthetists to agree to a no gap billing arrangement for all the private health funds. You will not incur any out of pocket expenses and will not receive any bills for their fees.

Pathology Fees

I have asked my pathology company to agree to a no gap billing arrangement for all the private health funds. Members of HBF will not incur any out of pocket expenses and will not receive any bills for their fees. Members of all other funds will receive a bill for pathology services which they will be able to claim back fully from Medicare and their private health fund, thereby incurring no out of pocket expenses.

Hospital Fees

Waikiki Private Hospital and St John Of God Hospital have an arrangement with most of the major funds. You will not incur any out of pocket expenses and will not receive any bills for their fees. Your only out of pocket expense should be the initial excess on the insurance policy that you agreed with your fund. You are strongly advised to contact your fund prior to booking any procedures to ensure you know exactly what your insurance policy will cover you for. One common mistake is that you have not been in the fund long enough or that you only have Extra's cover which will not cover you for procedure related fees
