Fees: Self-Pay and Insurance

PLEASE NOTE: Mr Turnbull is not currently taking on any new INSURED patients​

The fees paid by most insurance providers unfortunately do not reflect the time and expertise required to deliver optimum outcomes.

As a result, an increasing number of surgeons across various specialties are no longer willing or able to continue treating insured patients.

Many insured patients still choose to be seen and treated by Mr Turnbull, but on a self-funding basis.

​

*Unlike most providers, with South Coast Vision there is no extra cost for astigmatism-correcting toric monofocal lens implants when having cataract surgery on a self-pay basis. Enhanced monofocal lenses (if required) are also included in the standard fee.

 

Astigmatism is a common problem and should be corrected when necessary. There are anatomical thresholds for the use of toric lenses and it is about finding the "best fit" for your eyes based on precise measurements. It would not be fair to charge extra just because your eye is a certain shape - that would be like having to pay more for shoes depending on your shoe size! 

 

Astigmatism is one of Mr Turnbull's key areas of expertise, and he analyses the measurements of each eye to decide whether or not a toric lens is required. As much time and effort goes into deciding that you don't need a toric lens as goes into deciding that you do, ensuring that the best solution is found for the specific size, shape and optics of your eye.
