My Doctor absolutely refused to approve a flight for me when my husband couldn't come. Iptaas were very strict about it. Apparently not being able to do the trip on your own as psychologically unable to wasn't covered. But they paid me the same as if I drove so at least it was covered. (I'm in Broken Hill 500k from my surgeon at the Royal Adelaide ) I hope Angel flight will be helpful as it seems this is what it was set up for. Kath x
The RAH has 2 breast care nurses attached to the womens unit and will put you in touch with your nearest McGrath nurse if that's where you are going. My surgery was done at Queen Liz due to the perculiar system in SA even though surgeon is at RAH, but they visited me there and they organised a post op bra fitting whilst in hospital so it's advisable to have money or a way to do electronic payments.
