For Patients
What to expect
Time permitting My Anaesthetic Billing will contact you prior to your procedure to discuss any total fee or out of pocket fee that you may be expected to pay.
Your anaesthetist will contact you for a pre-operative consult. If you have any particular concerns please contact our rooms so that we can pass on this information to your anaesthetist.
After your procedure we will prepare invoices for your health fund and you will be notified of any gap payments required. Our terms are usually 28 days from invoice date.
Final receipts will be sent. If you paid the full amount a receipt will be sent out to you for claiming of any eligible Medicare or health fund rebates or your can request that we submit these claims on your behalf.
