Breast reconstruction costs.

I have private cover and my surgeon has told me there would be approximately $500 gap for his services but it wasn't a definitive discussion so I haven't asked for a breakdown of costs. And that was for one side.  He is well-known for keeping his costs down for BC patients where possible so this probably impacts.
As for public or private, I don't think there's any difficulty switching but be aware that there appears to be massive differences in waiting times from state to state.
