For those in Australia who don't have Private Health Insurance, HBO treatments are covered by Medicare so there are no out of pocket expenses at all. Your surgeon can authorise the treatments.
I have private Health insurance that covered my HBO treatments, so either way we are very lucky that we don't have to worry about that expense.
