FEES AND INSURANCE
After conducting a thorough medical history, Dr Pham and his staff will offer information regarding anaesthesia, the surgical facility to be used, and the costs for the procedure. Every procedure is individual and unique to each patient. Because of this, determining your specific needs and the fees associated relies upon a variety of factors, such as the complexity of the operation, where the surgery will take place and type of anaesthetic to be administered.
Your Quote
A quote will be provided and is usually an estimate as the actual surgery may differ from the proposed treatment due to an unexpected finding. Dr Pham will never compromise your health or surgical outcome to conform to previously anticipated or communicated anaesthesia and facility time. Accordingly, if further treatment is required (either through complexity, unforeseen complications or additional procedures you request) then extra costs are likely to apply.
Total Fee
The total fee will comprise of
- Surgeon Fee (Dr Pham)- this will be provided in the quote
- Anaesthetist Fee- you will need to consult the Doctor / Anaesthetist involve for a quote
- Hospital or Day Surgery Fee- you will need to contact the hospital involve for a quote
Consultation Fee
The fee for the initial consultation with Dr Pham is $190.00. Please remember that a referral letter from your General Practitioner will be required for a Medicare Rebate of $70.
Your first cosmetic consultation is free with a Nurse Coordinator.
Fees for cosmetic plastic surgery are paid prior to surgery.
Deposits
A non-refundable deposit of 10% or $500 is required once surgery has been scheduled. This deposit reserves the surgery date and is credited towards the balance due.
The balance of fees due is to be paid in full at the pre-operative appointment or three weeks prior to the scheduled surgery, whichever is first. Perth Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery generally does not provide refunds. Once a procedure is scheduled and the fee collected, and you cancel or reschedule the surgery within 2 weeks, there will be a fee of 25% of the total cost. Of course, exceptions are made for life threatening emergencies or medical illnesses prior to the procedure. In these instances, the rescheduling fee does not apply.
Payment
Acceptable forms of payment include:
- Cash
- Bank Cheques
- Visa or MasterCard
We do not offer payment plans
Health Insurance
As a rule, cosmetic plastic surgery is considered “elective surgery” and is not covered by most health insurance funds or Medicare. Some operations that have a significant functional aspect may be considered reconstructive rather than cosmetic and, as such, may attract a small rebate. These include Rhinoplasty for deformity or nasal obstruction, and breast reduction if the weight of your breasts causes pain or interferes with normal activities. Dr Pham will advise you to contact your health fund and Medicare if this is the case.
Because Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery is artistic, on occasion, revisions may be necessary. Such revisions are performed within one year of the original surgery, and although there is generally a minimum charge for the surgery, facility and anaesthesia fees still apply for such procedures. Perth Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery reserves the right to determine whether a revision is appropriate and what the procedure will entail. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please ask Dr Pham.
