Fees & Payment
The anaesthesia fee is separate from the dental fee
Our fees are highly competitive with other mobile anaesthesia providers and hospitals.
The fee covers
- Thorough medical review of your medical records and answers to questionnaires and consultation with your family doctor and medical specialists if required
- Preoperative tests (rarely required)
- General anaesthesia
- Recovery care
- Postoperative pain medication prescription
- Ensuring a responsible adult has clear instructions on required overnight care
- Postoperative pain service
There is a refund available from Medicare
Fortunately, Medicare provides a refund of 25-80% of the anaesthesia fee, but this cannot be claimed until after the procedure, when the duration of anaesthesia is known.
Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to find out exactly how much refund you will get, as it depends on
- how much out of pocket fees you have paid so far this year
- whether you have an eligible concession or Family Tax B status
- the anaesthesia fee, and
- how long the procedure takes.
However, if you would like to know, we can help you with an estimate.
After the procedure, an itemised receipt will be sent to you that contains the information required for you to submit your claim to Medicare for your refund, which can be done easily through the MyGov/Medicare portal, or via an online or hard copy form by post or in person at a Medicare outlet.
