Types of Patients
Dr Di Nallo welcomes a wide range of patients to the clinic. He is a very active orthopaedic surgeon running a busy lower-limb private practice.
He also remains committed to the public system, providing emergency department trauma cover at Goulburn Base Hospital (Public) and elective lower-limb orthopaedic surgery at Southern Highlands Private Hospital, Campbelltown Private Hospital and a range of local Sydney private hospitals.
We see the following types of patients
- Public patients (ie: uninsured patients)
- Private patients (ie: those with private health insurance)
- Self-funded patients (ie: uninsured patients willing to pay directly to have their surgery in a private hospital, to avoid the public hospital waiting list)
- Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) patients
- Workers Compensation patients
- Compulsory Third-Party insurance (CTP) patients
Workers Compensation & Compulsory Third Party insurance (CTP) Patients
If the condition relates to a Workers Compensation or CTP claim, please advise staff at the time of making an appointment. Please bring your claim number, approval letter for appointment, insurer details, name and contact details of your case manager.
Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Patients
Dr Di Nallo 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.
