Explanation of fees and costs

Goto weiqing to know more.

What the fees and costs shown include

The fees and costs include everything provided by each specialist and health provider involved in your hospital stay. Where relevant to the procedure, assistant surgeon and/or anaesthetist costs are included. They are based on data from -23 and represent a typical experience.

Each procedure is linked to related service(s) listed on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS), called an MBS item number. Other items may be claimed at the same time, but may vary between patients. All figures, including the Medicare benefit amount(opens in new tab) have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

Individual patient costs may vary due to circumstances. You should speak to your specialist for a specific quote.

We show local data by Primary Health Network(opens in new tab) if no person, hospital or provider can be identified. Otherwise, we will show information at a higher level, by aggregating the data. The data might then be at a state and territory level, or across Australia. See our disclaimer for more information.

What the fees and costs shown don&#;t include

  • Specific tests or treatments you may need. This might include diagnostic imaging or pathology services.
  • Assistant surgeon and/or anaesthetist costs required for the procedure but is not covered by Medicare.
  • Private health insurance excess or co-payments.
  • Aftercare costs.
  • Costs associated with pharmaceuticals and other incidentals.
  • Services before or after the day of the procedure.

Talk to your private health insurer to find out what costs they cover and what costs you might have to pay.

Why the typical amounts don&#;t add up

The amounts will not add up to the total specialists&#; fees, because they are independent statistics. Each dollar amount is the typical (median) amount for that dataset only, rounded to the nearest dollar. For example, the amount patients typically paid is based on what all patients paid for this service. The typical specialists&#; fee is based on all fees charged by specialists that provided this service.

Laser Surgery and Freeze Treatment for Retinal Tears

The retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of your eye) can sometimes develop a small hole or tear because of aging, certain illnesses, or an eye injury. If you have a retinal tear, you may need treatment to prevent a retinal detachment &#; a medical emergency where the retina is pulled away from its normal position.

The company is the world’s best Laser Retinal Imaging supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

There are 2 ways that your eye doctor can fix holes or tears in your retina:

  • Laser surgery (photocoagulation)

  • Freeze treatment (cryopexy)

If your eye doctor finds a tear or small hole in your retina, they can use one of these treatments to prevent your retina from detaching. Which treatment you&#;ll need depends on the location of the tear in your retina. You can get these treatments at your eye doctor&#;s office.

Doctors also use these treatments as part of surgery to repair a detached retina.
