Your specialists will give you paperwork so that you are aware prior of out of pocket expenses after medicare and private health insurance (if applicable).
You will be encouraged to check with your private health insurance prior to make sure you are aware of co-payment costs.
It is a little bit like how long is a piece of string. It varies as to who you see. I had an anaethetist tell me, oh btw I don't do pensioners to which I responded well luckily for me I'm not one. That was for a minor procedure. Mastectomy was different, kind caring team and minimal cost to me outside of rebates.
Good luck with it all
