FAQs

HOw much will my appointment cost?

Consultation Costs:

Dr Young charges $250 for a new consultation and $84.15 of this is rebated on medicare, provided you have a valid referral from your GP.  Follow up consults are $120 and $42.30 can be claimed back from medicare. Our staff will organise the rebate for you directly so no additional trips are required.

Post operative care is included in the surgical fee, as is your six week review appointment.

Operation Costs:

Privately Insured & Defence Force/DVA patients

If you wish to discuss any operative fees you may incur, please contact Dr Young’s rooms directly on (08) 6373 0122.

Due to variances between health funds, your out-of-pocket expenses may vary depending on your health fund. Please be aware that sometimes we are unable to provide you with a estimate of surgical fees until your initial consultation with Dr Young.

You will be provided with a quote at the time of booking surgery and any out-of-pocket expenses will be made known to you prior to proceeding. We advise that upon receipt of a quote, you contact your health fund to ensure you have the adequate coverage for your upcoming surgery and to discuss any out-of-pocket expenses.

 Patients may elect to self-fund if they wish. Quotes can be obtained on your behalf.
