    Consent to release medical information


    Dr Sabary charges operation fees guided by the AMA recommendations (Australian Medical Association). Health funds do NOT fully cover these fees and you will be given an estimate of the anticipated gap amount to be paid by yourself. This amount needs to be PAID PRIOR to the operation. Please note: patients insured with No Gap private funds (NIB) or have a fee-cap (most other funds) need to be aware ·that in case of an operation their out of pocket expenses are higher as those funds only refund up to the Medicare Schedule.

    IAM AWARE THAT ACCOUNTS NEED TO BE SETTLED ON THE DAY OF CONSULTATION AND IACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT OF MY ACCOUNT(S).
    Unpaid accounts will be dealt with by Barwon Credit Management.
