Published figures for the same procedure vary by a factor of five, and most of the pages carrying them are not clinics. So this section explains what actually moves the number, and we give you yours before you book.
Three things move the number. How many sessions a course needs, whether the visit is billed as a consultation or a procedure, and what your plan pays toward each. None of those is knowable from a web page, which is why the pages quoting a single figure are usually not clinics at all.
Session count is the largest of the three. A banding session generally treats one hemorrhoid column, so a course commonly runs to two or three visits spaced a few weeks apart. The sessions page explains how that is estimated at the first visit.
Coverage is the second. Office procedures are frequently covered when they are medically necessary, but the detail is per plan, and a deductible changes what you actually pay. We check yours and tell you the number: see insurance and coverage or paying without insurance.
Hamilton pricing
How billing works
From enquiry to your Hamilton number
Enquiry
Tell us the symptoms and send your plan details. Nothing is quoted before someone has read both of them.
Coverage check
We confirm what your plan pays toward a consultation and toward a procedure, and where your deductible sits.
Your figure
A written number covering the expected course, split by consultation and procedure, before anything is booked.
Billed as agreed
You are charged what you were quoted. If the examination changes the expected session count, you hear it then.
Cost pages
Hamilton hemorrhoid treatment cost, in detail
Four pages covering what moves the number, how coverage works, how many sessions to expect, and what self-pay looks like.
The questions people ask about money, answered without a number that would not survive the examination.
Because the published figures for the same procedure differ by a factor of five, and most of the pages carrying them are not clinics. Your number depends on session count and your plan, so we calculate it.
Three things: how many sessions your course needs, whether a visit bills as a consultation or a procedure, and what your plan pays toward each. Session count is usually the largest of the three.
A session generally treats one hemorrhoid column, so two or three visits is common. That is an estimate made at your examination, not a quote given over the phone before anyone has looked.
Often, when it is medically necessary, but coverage is set by your plan and your jurisdiction rather than by the procedure. A deductible changes what you pay even on a covered procedure.
Then you get a self-pay figure before anything is booked, broken down by consultation and by procedure, so you can decide on the whole course rather than one visit at a time.
Usually yes, because the examination is what decides whether a procedure is appropriate at all. We tell you how the visit will be billed when you book it, rather than afterwards.
