Uninsured Costs

Weight Loss Surgery 

Uninsured Bariatric Patient

If you are a candidate for Weight Loss Surgery and do not have Private Health Insurance, the costs are significant. Selected uninsured patients may undergo Weight Loss Surgery at Greenslopes Private Hospital, at Dr Hatzifotis’ discretion. Dr Hatzifotis will assess your medical history and determine whether you are medically fit for surgery without Private Insurance.

 

As an Uninsured patient, you may choose the following options to fund your surgery:

• Self Funded - Use own funds to pay the out of pocket fees upfront
• 12 Month Wait Period - Become a member of a Health Fund and serve the 12 months wait period
• Superannuation - Apply for Early Release of Superannuation
