Private surgery may be the best solution Paying to have your hernia repair operation privately may be the best solution if you don’t want to wait. Costs vary depending on your health insurance. If you have no private insurance the cost to you will be higher. You are welcome to ask for an estimate of the costs for your treatment. Charges incurred are for the surgery (including consultation prior to your operation), an anaesthetist, the hospital and items used during your hospital stay. You can choose to go to Southern Cross Hospital, St George’s Hospital, or The Oxford Clinic in Christchurch. Occasionally patients require additional medical care and may incur charges for pathology radiology and other specialists. Please check your health insurance policy as to what it will provide for you and ensure that your insurance is up to date. If your hernia has occurred as the result of an accident, ACC will either fully fund or partly fund the operation, depending on the circumstances. Feel free to ask if you qualify. Major credit cards are accepted for both hospital and surgical costs.
