Many patients want to know if Medicare will cover plastic surgery. You will be eligible for coverage from Medicare if your surgery is essential reconstructive surgery or procedures that have associated Medicare item numbers listed in the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS).

Private Health Funds – Are you an Insured or Uninsured Patient?
You can undertake your surgery as a self-funded (uninsured) patient or you may be covered by your Private Health Fund. There are many different private health funds and some coverage is higher than others.
Your Private Health Fund may partly contribute to the cost of your surgery IF you have a valid medical referral and meet the specific criteria for a Medicare Item Number.
You must also have the right LEVEL of insurance cover – Gold, Silver or Bronze – for the type of surgery you are undergoing. You may have to delay surgery after initially joining a health fund – (typically a 12-month waiting period needs to be served before you can have surgery).
GAP or NO GAP Plastic Surgery?
Nearly all plastic surgeons now charge a GAP fee on top of what Medicare and Private Health Funds are willing to contribute for your surgery. Medicare rebates have been fixed and have not increased for years. This has resulted in few if any NO GAP Plastic surgeons willing to charge the standard medicare fee and health fund rebate.
