Types of Patients

Dr Hargreaves welcomes a wide range of patients to the clinic, including both public and private patients.

We see the following types of patients

Private patients (ie: private health insurance policy holders)
Public patients (ie: uninsured patients)
Self-funded patients (ie: uninsured patients willing to pay directly for their surgery to avoid the public wait list)
Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) patients

Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Patients

Dr Hargreaves welcomes DVA patients as he accepts the rebate from DVA for your operation. If you are a Gold Card holder, then approval is straight forward. If you are a White Card holder, then approval will only be provided if it relates to a “Recognised Condition” that you were awarded the White Card for. It is recommended that both Gold and White Card holders get in touch with us to confirm your level of coverage for the operation you may require, so that approval can be coordinated if needed.
