Hi there,
I am glad I read these posts because I have been told that I can't get in for the Laparoscopy for another month. I have the full private health cover but my gyno wants to charge a $4500 doctors fee which I will only get back $600 or something from medicare and HCF combined. In light of reading these other posts I think this fee is rather excessive, any comments?

That gyno charges a $250 consultation fee and medicare only gives back $65. So even that seems like quite a lot.

I am going to see if I can get in sooner and with another doctor that will not charge such a big doctors fee. My only concern is that maybe she is supposed to be really really good and therefore charges a lot? Maybe its worth it for a good job?

Cheers, M
