Yes, Medicare covers a kidney stone treatment when performed by a specialist with a valid referral. You'll typically get back 75-85% of the schedule fee, but there's usually a gap between the rebate and what the specialist charges. Ask about MBS item numbers.
Expect 1-3 days for lithotripsy, 1-2 weeks for ureteroscopy. Your specialist will give you a personalised timeline based on your situation.
As with any surgery, there are risks including infection, bleeding, scarring, and reactions to anaesthesia. Serious complications are uncommon but possible. Your surgeon should explain the specific risks for your case before you consent.
Check AHPRA registration first. Look for a specialist surgeon with specific experience in this procedure. Get at least two quotes, ask about complication rates, and don't let price alone drive your decision. CostDoc shows what real patients have paid across providers.
