There are 3 fees for your surgery:

​

1. For the use of the Day Surgery;
2. For the Anaesthetist and;
3. For the Surgeon.

There may also be a Pathology / Radiology fee if a specimen is sent for testing. We advise all patients of the cost of having their operation which covers the use of the Operating Theatre and the Accommodation in Recovery. This is called Informed Financial Consent – when you agree to the cost of having your operation performed here.  We accept cash, cheque or credit card payments.
