I posted a thread a while back asking anyone for advice about the costs of laproscopy - thanks to the girls who replied -
The amounts they were charged was around the $4500 mark - my new question is, a percentage of this will be paid by medicare won't is -
from what I understand, medicare pays 75 or 80% of the scheduled fee and if you have private health, they pay either all or a % of the rest depending on the cover.
So I wouldn't actually have to pay up the full $4500 would I?

Does anyone know where I can find a medicare list of their schedule fee amounts?

I am getting a quote from my gyno for this procedure and wanted a heads up on what I might be looking at.

Also anyone know if specialists allow you to pay charges on a payment plan type thing?
