Breast Augmentation Pricing and Finance Options

While most breast augmentation surgery is considered cosmetic and are therefore not eligible for Medicare or private health insurance rebates, there are a few exceptions.

Medicare & Private Health Insurance

Some patients may be eligible for a Medicare item number if their procedure is deemed medically necessary, for example, in cases of implant rupture, capsular contracture, congenital abnormalities, or significant breast asymmetry. If applicable, this may also unlock a partial rebate through Medicare and may enable private health insurance support, depending on your level of cover.

Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis, and patients are encouraged to contact Medicare and their private health insurer directly to confirm any potential entitlements. This is the extent of information that Absolute Cosmetic Perth is able to provide regarding rebates or insurance coverage.

Superannuation Access

In rare cases, early access to superannuation may be possible under compassionate grounds, but this is only considered where the procedure is medically necessary. Approval requires a formal application through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and written support from medical professionals (treating doctor and general practitioner (GP))

Please note:

• This process can be complex and time-consuming, and approval is not guaranteed.

• Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978) generally discourages the use of superannuation for cosmetic procedures due to the long-term financial implications for patients.
