Hi again Selina
All treatment at Moorabbin is free. Peter Mac at Moorabbin is a public hospital and all radiotherapy is coverered uner Medicare rebates. You just take the cheque into them when you receive it from Medicare after you have finished treatment.
I think Frankston Private offers radiotherapy under the private system, and you will be many thousands out of pocket for the course of radiotherapy, even allowing for the Medicare rebates. Don't think you can claim under Private Health insurance either. Moorabbin will cater for your needs if you are working. They keep the early morning slots and the late afternoon slots for those in the workforce.
Ask questions before you commit to either treatment centre!
Good luck for your vein surgery.
With love
