Personalized Guidance, Confident Decisions
Consultations
Dr. Hayes practices from suite 112 on the first floor of the beautiful and conveniently situated Busamed Hillcrest Private Hospital.
Consultation fees are payable on the day of appointment. Cash or cards are welcome with a machine available at the practice reception for your convenience.
A payment receipt will be provided so that you may claim some if not all of these costs from your medical aid depending on your medical aid plan you subscribe to.
Surgery
A detailed estimate of the costs involved as well as an estimate of what your medical aid will likely cover will be provided to you before the procedure. We aim to be open and honest about all aspects of the consultation including diagnosis, treatment and the cost thereof so please do not hesitate to ask should you require any additional information.
- The fees of this practice are rendered in accordance with the fees set by the Aesthetic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Society of South Africa (APRSSA) following extensive research and independent cost analytics by the South African Private Practice Forum
- Each medical aid has their own ‘scheme rate’ based on the previously used NHRPL or National Health Reference Price List. In July 2010, Acting Judge Ebersohn of the North Gauteng High Court judged the RPL to be ‘unreasonably low’ with health care practitioners not able to cover their costs at this rate and therefore declared invalid.
- Many medical aids have also increased their ‘scheme rate’ per annum at a level that is below inflation and this has resulted in a major discrepancy between what the service provider charges and what the medical aid will cover. As such, there will almost always be a difference between the costs involved and what your medical aid is prepared to cover.
Important Considerations:
Consultation with a certified plastic surgeon is crucial to discuss individual goals and determine the most appropriate procedure.
Understanding the risks, benefits, and recovery process is essential.
Realistic expectations are vital for patient satisfaction.
