Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions patients ask most. Clarity is the first step to confidence.
Yes. A current referral from your general practitioner or specialist is required to claim your Medicare rebate. It also ensures Dr Handford has your full medical history before your consultation.
Initial consultations are charged at a standard private rate. Our team will provide a detailed cost estimate before any procedure, so there are no surprises. Contact the practice for current fee information.
Recovery varies by procedure. A straightforward arthroscopy may see you home the same day, while a reconstruction or joint replacement requires a guided rehabilitation plan over several months.
Many shoulder and elbow procedures are day surgeries. For more complex reconstructions or replacements, a one-night hospital stay is typical to manage your comfort and safety.
We work with all major health funds. Our practice will check your level of cover and handle the paperwork to confirm any out-of-pocket costs well ahead of your surgery date.
