Procedure Pricing

We have created a patient focused pricing structure that follows the pricing guidelines of the Australian Medical Association (AMA) in addition to the Medical Benefits Scheme (MBS). While we endeavor to keep our costs as affordable and as accessible for patients our costs are aligned with the recommended guidelines.

Due to the high costs of long term follow up, Dr Puhalla does not participate in gap-cover or no-gap. Our prices reflect the expertise and quality of Dr Puhalla’s services and his team.

Yes you can, however you do need your partners permission to access the funds.

This will depend if you are accessing superannuation or not. The process for early release of superannuation is between 6 – 8 weeks. If you are covered under your private health insurance and have funds readily available, surgery can be booked from 2 – 4 weeks from consultation provided there are no requirements for pre-operative investigations.

We aren’t able to provide out of pocket costs as each health fund will rebate different amounts however we can provide you with the up-front costs. Please contact our friendly team and we can provide more information.

For your appointments with Dr Puhalla you are eligible for a medicare rebate which will be processed at each attended appointment. For your dietician appointments if you have extras with your private health or have a GP Management Care plan in place, your rebates will be processed at the time of each attended appointment.
