The concept of being covered by Medicare for plastic surgery is undeniably confusing. To help, we've recorded a two part series explaining what an item number is, why they exist, and we go through operation by operation to break down who qualifies for the surgeries we perform at RE. If you haven't listened to last week's episode, definitely go there first to get an understanding of how item numbers and private health insurance work for plastic surgery. We also cover all of the qualifiers for breast surgeries in that episode. In this episode, we chat about why conditions primarily affecting women seem to be unfairly targeted, and Richard explains why more surgeries excluded from the MBS could lead to dire consequences for the Australian health system. We also go through the specific qualifiers for Are You Ready? Labiaplasty, loose skin removal, abdominoplasties, lower body lifts, And I lives so enjoy this episode and please share this one or last week's with someone you think it could help. Craving more?
