Health funds and Laser Eye Surgery
Most health fund policies do not fully cover Laser Eye Surgery as these treatments do not carry a medicare item number. However, several "Ultimate" level policies such as BUPA Ultimate, HBF Ultimate Package and Medibank Ultra Health Cover do cover Laser eye surgery cost in Perth. Treatments covered are SMILE, LASIK and PRK. Some of these policies would also cover RLE, ICL and Collagen Cross-linking. Please do check your level of coverage with your health fund provider to see if your policy has the Ultimate coverage.
HBF lower-level policy members are able to use GAPSAVER credits and Optical Cover credits to partially cover Laser eye surgery and Corneal Collagen Cross-linking costs.
Eye surgery for medical problems
Patients with medical diagnosis such as cataracts usually have their procedure fully funded at our practice by their Private Health Funds. However, this is dependant on the specific diagnosis, the type of care and level of care you have chosen. We are PREFERRED PROVIDERS with most major Private Health Funds, therefore you will normally be GAP FREE at our practice.
Unfunded medical treatments
There are several other medical treatments which are clearly proven to be effective but are not currently funded by Medicare and/or Private Health Funds. These are usually cutting edge diagnostics and treatments such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), Kera-ring implants and Laser Cataract Surgery System. Keratoconus treatments other than corneal transplantation are not well funded by health funds or Medicare. Collagen Cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus was previously unfunded. However, CXL has been covered by major health funds and carries a medicare rebate since May 2018.
