FEES

Medical rebates and surgeon fees Medicare rebates cannot sustain any surgical practice that offers a safe and high quality surgical care. Medicare rebates have been frozen since 2012 with no plans to increase in fees in the near future. The inflation, wages, medical equipment, rents have risen Multifood in this time. We do not bulk bill at Esmee clinic. However we try our best to accommodate pensioners and the families of those who served in armed forces of Australia.

HEALTH INSURANCE COVER

Most cosmetic surgery procedures don’t attract a medicare rebate. Hence your private health insurance won’t cover it. We do not take the hassle of negotiating with medicare about the minimal rebates that rarely may apply for your situation. We rather incorporate that cost to reduce our quote. Our practice will ask you to deposit surgical costs upfront no later than 2 wks before the surgery

Surgical Fees

Due to an explosive rise in Cosmetic Procedures we have to pre book operation theatres, equipments and theatre staff. Hence to secure a day and hospital for your procedure we have to charge you a deposit of $ 1000.
