Insurance Rebates
As
a general rule of thumb, those procedures that carry a 'Medicare
Item Number' attract a hospital fund rebate of 25% of the scheduled
fee for the surgeons and anesthetist fees for in hospital services
- such as those provided at the Aesthetic Day Surgery. However,
an exception to this rule if you have take out cover with our fund
that specifically excludes plastic surgery.

Medicare rebates and therefore are generally covered by hospital
funds according to your level of cover.
