I'm almost certain that you cannot claim anything back bar the anethetists fee. I'm a public patient but had mine done privately by an oral surgeon and the anethetists fee was the only one I could claim. On an upside though if it costs in total more than $1500 out of you pocket you can claim it on your tax return but must keep all reciepts. HTH.
i agree with tiffanny... anethetists is the only thing medicare will help you with..
another up side.. it will push you closer to your safety net.. which is on a calander year, so you might start to get higher medicare rebates on all your other GP stuff..
I had to pay $2500 for my DD dental surgery last year, the anethetists put us over the safety net, and we were getting about $50 rebate per $55 for GP consult in the end.
