In addition to traditional medical therapies, Dr Aliashkevich can offer a variety of minimally invasive interventional procedures to target pain and inflammation directly at the source, providing relief and promoting healing.

Rehabilitation

Specialist care in a welcoming and comfortable environment

Dr Aliashkevich wants his patients to be fully engaged in their treatment process and have a good understanding of their neurosurgical conditions. Hence, the rooms are equipped with large displays to review and discuss the imaging and make important decisions about the treatment options and available alternatives. We believe partnering with patients in their care is a modern gold standard for medical treatment and aim to deliver ethical and professional services to improve the quality of doctor-patient interactions. At the end of every patient’s visit, our office emails a summary of their conditions, including the diagnosis, history, examination findings, radiological results and recommended action plan.

TAC AND WORKCOVER WELCOME

Insurances and Surgery Funding

Private: Patients must have valid private health/hospital insurance with no waiting periods. Extras are not applicable for inpatient hospital treatment. The health funds don’t contribute to consultation and outpatient treatment fees.
Please note that so-called basic and bronze covers may not cover spinal surgery or neurosurgery in private hospitals. Cervical and lumbar artificial disc replacement (arthroplasty) falls into the Joint Replacement Category, which is usually included in Silver and Gold policies. Patients need to check their policy for coverage levels, exclusions, and inclusions.

TAC: Claim details and consultation approval from TAC. Patients must pay the consultation fee upfront and claim reimbursement from their insurer.

Veteran Affairs/Military: Both “Gold Card” and “White Card” patients are eligible. For “White Card” holders, a condition must be covered by DVA.

Work Cover: Claim details and consultation approval from the WorkSafe insurer. Patients must pay the consultation fee upfront and claim reimbursement from their insurer.

Uninsured: Self-funded patients can be provided with a quote for all surgical, anaesthetic and hospital costs. For example, the minimum amount required for a single-segment spinal surgery not requiring any implants in a private hospital in Victoria can be around $15000 – $20000. This amount may include hospital and operating theatre fees, surgeon, assistant, anaesthetist, specialised care from a perioperative physician, and HDU or ICU care.

Dr Aliashkevich has no affiliation with a public hospital, so unless a patient is willing to pay for surgery in a private hospital, he cannot undertake surgery on someone without appropriate insurance. For all other uninsured referrals, please get in touch with the closest public hospital directly.
