How much does corrective surgery cost?

Question

Accepted Answer

The costs associated with corrective surgery vary significantly depending on the complexity of the reconstruction and the specific procedure performed.

Insurance and Medicare: Because corrective surgery is medically necessary to restore function or repair defects (such as after trauma or cancer), it typically attracts a Medicare Item Number. If you have appropriate Private Health Insurance, this may cover hospital admission costs and a portion of the surgical fees. Patients are advised to check their policy details against the item numbers provided by Dr Moradi.

Cost Breakdown Surgical fees generally include:

Surgeon and Surgical Assistant fees
Specialist Anaesthetist fees
Hospital or day surgery facility costs (often covered by insurance)
Post-operative garments (if required)
Length of hospital stay

Following your consultation, Dr Moradi’s team will provide a detailed, itemised estimate of the total costs, including any out-of-pocket expenses (gaps).
