Out of pocket expenses

So I have received my rebates back from both Medicare and my private health insurance and after two surgeries I am out of pocket thus:

Surgeon $3881.60

Anaesthetist $200

Surgery assistant $200

Hospital pharmacist $95.22

TOTAL $4376.82


Probably not a bad result. I was really surprised by how little the private health insurance picks up. I have top end coverage and expected to be looked after better than that, but really I am pretty satisfied.

We are extremely lucky to have the public health care system that we do in Australia.
