Your booking pathway This is based on your answers above. Pricing is indicative — our team confirms your cover before anything is booked, and there's no payment to make now.
Answer "Do you have private hospital health insurance?" in Step 3 above and your pathway will appear here.
No-gap pathway
$0 surgeon fee. As a no-gap provider we cover the surgeon's fee for insured patients with most major funds. A hospital excess (typically ~$250–750, depending on your policy) and a small separate anaesthetist fee may apply.
We'll confirm your cover with your fund before anything is locked in.
Self-funded package
Fixed, all-inclusive from $1,650 (hospital, surgeon and anaesthetist), up to $1,950 for a combined gastroscopy + colonoscopy. Available at our package day-surgery hospitals (currently Springwood Day Surgery and North Lakes Day Hospital).
No private hospital cover needed. We'll confirm everything with you before anything is locked in.

Appointment Cancellation Policy
If appointments are cancelled within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment, a $100 cancellation fee will be charged. If an appointment is cancelled within 24 hours, or if a patient does not attend, a $100 cancellation fee will be charged. No further appointments will be made until the cancellation fee has been paid. If the patient is a WorkCover, DVA, or ADF patient, this cancellation fee must be paid by the patient personally and will not be covered by the third party.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Colonoscopy Brisbane has a zero-tolerance approach to any verbal, aggressive or violent abuse and behaviour towards our doctors, staff or other patients. Abusive behaviour — including offensive language, yelling, verbal insults, physical violence, racial abuse or sexual harassment — will result in the person being required to leave the practice, and may mean care is transferred elsewhere; in extreme cases the police will be called. We have the right to refuse treatment to anyone who threatens the safety of our staff or patients.
Health information release
I give my consent to Dr Goutham Sivasuthan of Colonoscopy Brisbane to contact medical practitioners or other bodies I have consulted to obtain health and other information that may be pertinent to my care, and I authorise those practitioners or bodies to release such information (which may include sensitive health information) to Dr Sivasuthan and the practice. I authorise Dr Sivasuthan to include the medical practitioners I have named in patient correspondence (reports, letters or other means) as applicable to my care.
Post-procedure telehealth review (bulk-billed)
After your endoscopy/colonoscopy, Dr Goutham Sivasuthan will see you for a short post-procedure review consultation, usually by telehealth. We bulk-bill this consultation. By assigning your Medicare benefit you agree the Medicare benefit is accepted as full payment for that consultation — you will have no out-of-pocket cost for it, and the benefit is paid directly to the practitioner. Assigning your benefit is your choice; you do not have to.
If you assign your benefit, you agree:
Do you assign your Medicare benefit for the bulk-billed post-procedure review?
Yes — I assign my benefit No — I'll pay the fee myself
Assigning your benefit is your choice and does not affect your registration. We only claim it after your review consultation has taken place.
