Hi, guys. I'm sure there's a question about this somewhere in the forum, but my connection is being slow and I can't find it.

How much does the LB surgery cost? Unfortunately, I'm going to be paying for it all myself because I don't have private health cover. Is any of it covered under Medicare under any circumstances?

Umm for me personally it was $150 all up :biggrin::biggrin::wink2::biggrin:

Hi, I went to Dr Michael Crawford in Sydney and had the operation at Mater Hospital Crows Nest. It cost about $15000 of which my top cover health insurance covered $11000 - therefore $4000 out of pocket. My doctor bulk bills for fills and has unlimited no extra cost for follow ups. It's worth every cent. melanie:thumbup:
