Fees
Patients with private health insurance
You may have an excess on your private health insurance policy that needs to be paid at the time of your admission. This amount will be advised by the hospital or endoscopy centre, and can also be verified by the health fund.
For all privately insured patients, Dr Desmond and the anaesthetist on the day of the procedure will bill your health fund directly for the services they provide, with no out of pocket expenses. All pathology will also be billed directly to your health fund
Patients without private health insurance
Patients without private health insurance can have procedures performed at Glen iris Private. Dr Desmond will bulk bill you for the services provided. A separate facility fee will be charged by Glen Iris Private and the anaesthetist will contact you if they have a fee.
For procedures undertaken at Glen Iris Private (GIP), please contact the facility directly on 88082311 to enquire about any facility fees.
Iron infusions fees
Iron infusions may be undertaken at the time of endoscopy or in the Day Oncology Units at Cabrini Malvern and Cabrini Brighton.
Iron infusions not undertaken during endoscopy are not covered by private health insurance companies so there is an out of pocket cost payable on the day of the infusion.
If having an iron infusion at Glen Iris Private a prescription for the iron needs to be filled prior to the appointment and the medication brought to Glen Iris Private.
