Cailin - with ours - the actual snip/cut/procedure is classified as plastic surgery or something that is not rebateable so we only got the medicare money back on the consultation.
An aside - when we were given Dr. Goldmans name, I looked him up in the phone book and called the number, it was his home number and I got Mrs. Goldman !!

Hi
I got Jacob done at 7.5 weeks, I am in QLD but just wanted to share my experience.
We paid $440.00 for the procedure and I ended up getting about $95 back from medicare, there was a subsiquent appointment that was $55 and I got like $30 odd back from that.
He had the plasti bell procedure.... they dont let you in there with them as they say its more distressing for the mother than it is for the baby!!
7 days to the dot it came off and it looks GREAT now!!
Oh and STUPID me said Merry Christmas to the doctor!!!! didnt I feel silly when I realised.... wondering why he just smiled and said "yes"
I am very happy that we made the decision to get it done
Go to circumsision australia website and there should be plenty of info about doctors that do it in Melbourne/Vic area.
Good luck with it :-)
