Fees associated with your surgery

The main costs to expect with your surgery are as follows:

Surgeon
Anaesthetist
Assistant Surgeon
Hospital
Other associated costs such as radiology, pathology, rehabilitation, orthotics, or additional specialists involved in your care

Once you have booked a date for your surgery we will provide you with the relevant item numbers. We ask you to check with your health insurance that your level of cover is applicable for the expected item numbers.

You will then be given an estimate of Dr Touzell’s fees, and the details of how to contact the other relevant parties relating to your surgery.

Dr Touzell’s out of pocket costs vary depending on the complexity of the procedure. Please note that Dr Touzell will never charge more than 85% of the fee recommended by the Australian Medical Association (AMA).

Some information about health insurance companies and their rebates provided to surgeons can be found here and here.

Please contact our administration team if you would like to discuss this further.

Workers Compensation

From 1st January 2026 Dr Touzell is no longer performing Workcover surgery.

TAC

We welcome patients covered by TAC. Please note that TAC approval for your consultation with Dr Amy Touzell is required prior to your appointment. If approval is not in place, the patient will be responsible for the account.

If surgery is recommended, our team will contact TAC to request approval. Surgery will only be scheduled once TAC approval has been granted.

If you have any questions regarding TAC requirements or approvals, please contact our administration team.

Patients without private health insurance

If you do not have private health insurance, we recommend that your GP refer you directly to your local public hospital for consultation and ongoing management.

Please be aware that Dr Touzell cannot place patients on a public hospital waiting list from her private rooms, nor can she influence public hospital appointment or surgery scheduling.

If you choose to see Dr Touzell privately without private health insurance, it is expected that you will proceed with surgery as a self-insured patient. Self-insured surgery costs generally range from $5,000 to over $20,000, depending on the procedure required.

For any questions regarding referral to the public system, please speak with your GP.
