    You're better off ringing you insurance company to see what they wil cover or if you have no insurance ring the patient accounts dept in the hospital!!

    Yikes.

    Their website may have a section that explains fees? But it will also depend on what doctor you see and what additional tests you need IF you need any.

    Best bet is to wait till monday and find out what test exactly you are going for and then ring the hospital.

    Public hospitals do a payment scheme where you can pay your bill weekly etc but, tbh, I doubt the private hospitals would be that flexible. I stand to be corrected on that though.
