How much will my orthopaedic procedure cost?

The costs associated with having surgery are not always easy to understand. Everyone’s surgery journey is different, and costs vary for each patient.

Surgeon’s fees, hospital costs, anaesthetist fees, implants and prosthesis, pathology and imaging all contribute to the overall costs for your orthopaedic treatment. 

If you hold private health insurance, you’ll need to check with your provider what is and isn’t included in your level of cover, and what your out-of-pocket costs may look like. 

If you are a self-funded patient, you can obtain a quote from your St Vincent’s Private Hospital of choice.
