Payment
Your surgeon will be able to confirm the expected cost of your operation.
Invoices
You will receive three separate invoices for your procedure: one each from your surgeon, anaesthetist and Auckland City Surgical Services (ACSS).
Payment
Your ACSS account will be ready for you when you leave.
If you are paying for some or all of the costs, you will be expected to settle your ACSS account in full before you leave the day unit. We may also ask for a deposit when you are admitted.
We accept EFTPOS, credit card and cheques (daily limits apply on EFTPOS).
Health insurance
If your surgical stay is covered by insurance, you need prior approval and to bring documents confirming this on the day of surgery. If you have prior approval, you will be given an invoice to forward to your insurer.
