Thanks Jel
I have the private health insurance which is comprehensible cover so I am covered but not for the prices the PS want to charge that are above the rebate. So $8000 for him $3000 for anesthetist and I haven't even got a clue what the breast surgeon will charge yet but for a guesstimate am allowing $1000 - $2000. So we are talking about $12,000 - $13,000 out of pocket which I just can't understand if I opt to go his preferred way.
He also works in the public system and this is the way I'd like to go for the reason also that it is closer to home and more likely to be no out of pocket costs.
Will consider writing the letter but first I have pushed back a little on the surgeon and said how I felt and have left it with him to make a call on having no gap or a much smaller figure when using the private system which won't be as close to home but will do what we have to.
Thanks for the advice it is much appreciated.
