Out of pocket cost $6,000

While costs are subject to change, our out of pocket fee for primary weight loss surgery remains the same at $6,000.

Having surgery may be essential to your weight loss journey, but so is your post-surgery support and care. That’s why we’ve created a Post-Operative-Support Program. Our post-procedure support service gives you 2-years of set allied health support and access to our medical team following your weight loss surgery.

The Post-Operative-Support Program is provided within the one space by the one specialised team. This means we’re with you all the way.

The Post-Operative-Support Program also provides online resources, including two years of access to an online Learning Centre, which is packed with easy to follow videos and downloads to help you successfully navigate the weight loss surgery journey.

Your primary weight-loss surgery performed by your surgeon will be billed directly to your health fund and Medicare.

To ensure you are covered, we recommend that you check with your private health provider the following items/codes are included in your policy coverage:

– Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy – 31575
– Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass – 31572

Costs that are not included:

– Anaesthetist gap (approx. $500)
– Hospital excess (as per your health fund policy)
– Other costs; while your health fund covers the majority of your in-hospital costs, there may be additional costs including medications, radiology scans and blood tests and other specialists or healthcare providers that are not covered by your healthcare policy.

A detailed quote will be provided following consultation with the surgeon.
