Wesley Anaesthesia

Wesley Anaesthesia supports a team of valued specialists who consistently deliver the best outcomes for the patients and the surgeons we support across Queensland.

There are currently 40 associate members covering all areas of anaesthesia. These include hospital based specialist anaesthesia, in-room pre-operative consultations and after hours emergency cover.

The group has access to more than 9 specialist Paediatric Anaesthetists, specialists in Cardiac Anaesthesia and Perfusion, as well as a team that participates in the Wesley Hospital Obstetric program.

The associates are accredited at many hospitals across Queensland including the greater metropolitan area and Rockhampton. Many of the associates also support future generations of specialists by contributing to and conducting research, and teaching medical students in private hospitals.

Fees & Payment

Fees

Fees are based on the Australian Government's Medical Benefits Schedule (Relative Value Guide) which mandates that anaesthetists charge according to multiple "item numbers".  These include item numbers for the preoperative consultation, the type of surgery, duration of anaesthesia and interventions like blood transfusion, epidurals, and special monitoring.

Fees

Each anaesthetist set their own fees which is based on that of the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA) in collaboration with the Australian Government's Medicare Benefits Schedule (Relative Value Guide).

Health Fund Rebates

However, health funds have chosen to minimise their costs by generally setting their rebates at between 25% to 45% of the recommended fee. This often means the patient must pay an out-of-pocket amount to the anaesthetist.

Out of Pocket Costs

Most anaesthetists offer significant discounts off the recommended fee of the AMA and ASA to decrease the cost to their patients.  However, there are high costs of running a specialty medical practice which are not met by a health fund rebate of 25-45%.  An out-of-pocket amount will often be charged to enable the anaesthetist to continue their practice in anaesthesia.
