PRICING
Medical care has unfortunately become very expensive. This is for a number of reasons:
- Advances in technology
- Increases in regulation, which does also ensure better and more consistent care
- Increasing use of disposable items
- Increasing incidence of medical co-morbidities
- Provision of private healthcare is now increasingly by large multinational healthcare organizations, who are required to show a profit
In addition to quality surgery, one of my top priorities is also to provide value for money. Selina Sutherland is a locally established not for profit Trust, and has a symbiotic relationship with the Wairarapa DHB.
I have been able to negotiate fixed prices/estimates for a number of operations. The prices may vary depending on implants, co-morbidities and hospital stay. (my fees are highlighted)
The Global fee for a Hip Replacement with a three day hospital stay should be under $20 000
My fees are as follows :
First Consult : $200
Surgical Fee : $3854
The Global fee for a Total Knee Replacement by me is as follows :
First Consult : $200
Surgical Fee : $4140.05
Due to the variation in other types of procedures, it is difficult to provide an accurate price estimate fees for other individual operations, but we will always prepare a detailed price estimate for you prior to any procedure, and barring unforeseen situations, we are generally able to stick to those estimates.
