Many of our patients have questions about the cost of their procedures. We certainly understand that most people need to consider their budget when deciding whether or not to undergo a surgical procedure. We are happy to provide as much information as possible about the hand microsurgery cost to our patients in Sydney.
For patients undergoing microsurgery of the hand or wrist, there will be several different fees to consider. There will be the surgical fee, which covers Dr. Sungaran’s services. There is an anaesthetic fee, which covers treatment by a qualified anaesthesiologist, including the medications used by this doctor during your procedure. In addition, there is a hospital fee, which covers the use of the operating room and other parts of the building, operating room personnel, and the materials used during the surgical procedure itself.
Various procedures may require the use of microsurgical techniques, including nerve grafting, revascularization, replantation of a severed finger, and treatment of a severe fracture (which tears blood vessels and nerves). The cost of hand microsurgery depends on the exact procedure needed.
What is the hand microsurgery cost Sydney?
We are unable to give specific figures about the cost of a surgical procedure on a general page. This is because we cannot know the exact procedure you will undergo until after Dr. Sungaran has seen you and assessed your condition. After you have your initial consultation, you will receive specific information about the cost of your hand surgery in Sydney.
It’s important to recognize that complex microsurgical procedures require specialized equipment, and the medical personnel involved have many years of highly rigorous training and experience. For your safety as well as the quality of your results, it’s very important not to skimp on the cost of your procedure. Those who choose the cheapest option without considering quality may suffer from complications further on.
Is reimbursement available for the cost of microsurgery?
Medicare will often reimburse patients for a portion of the fees incurred during the procedure. For the majority of procedures there will be a gap between the total fees for your procedure and your Medicare reimbursement.
If you have a private health fund, we can contact your fund to determine what additional reimbursement will be available. This amount varies between different funds. However, in many cases, health funds do provide additional reimbursement for patients having microsurgery of the hand or wrist. If you are having any problems with getting the answers you need from your fund, please ask us for help.
