Out of pocket in the private
Hi lovely ladies, I am wondering if you have any insight. I had a mastectomy last week and of course got charges from my surgeon and surgical nurse assistant (first time I have heard one). I am won...
I had to pay for the anaesthetist (which is bizarre, surgery without?) but almost everything else was covered by my private health insurance. I pay for check ups but now only once a year for both oncologist and surgeon and I do get part of the fee back. In the tumult of diagnosis and surgery it’s easy to forget to ask about costs but it’s perfectly OK to do so. Best wishes.
