I'm honestly very curious about the out of pocket price. 7000 Australian is 4000 USD. Thst would make it cheaper the cheapest in the world, cheaper than turkey, India, Egypt, etc. But I assume there has to be a catch.

Discovernew, I can't offer anything further. It could be that there are other barriers. The only way to find out is if you make enquiries with a surgeon in Australia as a potential patient coming from overseas. You could maybe try a high volume surgeon like Dr Christopher Love in Melbourne. With a relatively small population we have very few high volume implanters to my knowledge.

No, I just referenced him because I know he's high volume and has a good reputation.
Also I think he has a larger practice and might be more likely to accept international patients.
I considered using him but I didn't want to have to fly to Melbourne, or return there post op for activation, or if any problems.
He has a colleague who is also high volume, Assoc. Prof. Darren Katz. Might also be worth asking there.

The cost of an inflatable penile implant in Australia for foreigners can vary, but it's generally in the range of $16,000 to $20,000 AUD. This price typically includes all associated fees and a package deal. Some surgeons may offer different pricing structures, so it's crucial to inquire about specific costs with the surgeon you choose.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Surgery Cost: The procedure itself can cost between $16,000 and $20,000 AUD.
Package Deals: Many surgeons offer package deals that include the implant, surgery, and follow-up care, as noted by EDCure.
Consultations: It's always a good idea to have a consultation with multiple surgeons to compare their fees and discuss your individual needs.
Important Considerations:
Foreigners:
While foreigners can receive this treatment in Australia, they will need to pay out-of-pocket. Medicare, Australia's public health insurance, typically doesn't cover the costs for foreign citizens.
Insurance:
If you have international health insurance, it may cover some or all of the costs, but you should check with your provider.
