About Dr Devesh Kaushal

Dr Devesh Kaushal is a private specialist general and upper gastrointestinal (GI) surgeon based in Campbelltown, NSW, providing care to patients across South Western Sydney. His practice focuses on bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, upper-GI procedures (including oesophageal and stomach surgery), colorectal surgery, and a wide range of general surgical services such as hernia repairs and gallbladder surgery. He also performs diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) in both consulting rooms and hospital settings, working closely with local GPs and hospitals. Further information about his services, locations, and referral requirements is available at drdeveshkaushal.com.au.

A charge from “Dr Devesh Kaushal” (or a similar description such as “DR D KAUSHAL”, “KAUSHAL SURGERY”, or “DR DEVESH KAUSHAL CAMPBELLTOWN”) on your bank or credit card statement is usually related to a medical consultation, procedure, or surgical fee. This could be for an initial or follow-up consultation, an in-rooms procedure, endoscopy, bariatric or general surgery fees, or a gap payment not covered fully by Medicare or your private health insurer. In some cases you may see multiple charges related to one episode of care (for example, a pre-operative consultation followed by a separate hospital or surgical fee), or a pre-authorisation/holding payment taken to secure a booking or confirm card details, which may later be adjusted or reversed.

If you are unsure about a charge from Dr Devesh Kaushal, first check any consultation receipts, hospital admission paperwork, procedure booking forms, and Medicare/private health insurance statements around the same date. The date of the charge may differ slightly from the date you saw the doctor or had surgery, depending on when billing was processed. To clarify a payment, request an itemised invoice, or query an amount, you can contact his rooms using the phone number or contact form listed on drdeveshkaushal.com.au, quoting the date and amount of the transaction. Common issues—such as duplicate-looking charges, confusion over Medicare/health fund gaps, or pre-operative deposits—are typically resolved by the practice staff reviewing your account, explaining benefits paid by Medicare/insurers, and issuing adjustments or refunds where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I charged by Dr Devesh Kaushal after my hospital stay in Campbelltown?

Surgical and in-hospital consultation fees from Dr Devesh Kaushal are often billed separately from the hospital, anaesthetist, and pathology providers. You may see a charge a few days after discharge once operative notes and Medicare/health fund details are processed. The amount usually represents the surgeon’s fee or a gap payment not fully covered by your insurer. You can request an itemised statement from his rooms if you’re unsure which service the charge relates to.

What types of fees does Dr Devesh Kaushal usually charge patients?

Common fees include initial and follow-up consultation fees, endoscopy (gastroscopy/colonoscopy) fees, bariatric and general surgical procedure fees, and out-of-pocket (gap) payments after Medicare and private health fund rebates. There may also be pre-operative deposits for elective surgery, particularly bariatric procedures, which are later reconciled against the final surgical account. Exact fees vary depending on the procedure, your level of insurance, and applicable Medicare item numbers. To obtain an estimate, contact his practice with your referral and health fund details.

Why do I see two similar charges from Dr Devesh Kaushal around the same date?

You may be seeing a combination of a consultation fee and a separate procedure or surgery fee, or a pre-authorisation/holding payment followed by the final processed charge. In some cases, an initial estimate may be taken as a deposit and then adjusted once Medicare and your insurer have paid their portion. If the duplicate-looking charges do not match the information you were given, contact the practice to have your account reviewed. They can confirm whether one is a temporary hold or if a refund or adjustment is required.

Does Dr Devesh Kaushal offer bulk-billing or no-gap surgery?

Bulk-billing for consultations is not routine and policies can vary depending on the service, Medicare item, and patient circumstances. For privately insured patients, some procedures may be billed as ‘no-gap’ or ‘known-gap’ depending on agreements with your health fund, while others may attract an out-of-pocket component. Before surgery, the rooms usually provide a financial consent/fee estimate outlining expected surgeon’s fees and possible gaps. Always review this document and ask the staff to clarify any items you don’t understand before proceeding.

How can I get an itemised invoice or receipt for my charge from Dr Devesh Kaushal?

You can request an itemised invoice or receipt directly from his rooms by phone or via the contact details on drdeveshkaushal.com.au. Provide your full name, date of birth, approximate date of service, and the exact amount and date of the charge showing on your bank statement. The practice can email or post a receipt that lists Medicare item numbers, fees charged, and any rebates or payments processed. This documentation can also be used for health fund claims or tax purposes.

How do I query or dispute a charge from Dr Devesh Kaushal?

If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact the practice first before approaching your bank, as most issues can be resolved directly. Have your bank statement, Medicare or health fund statements, and any quotes or consent forms handy so staff can compare them with their records. If a genuine billing error or overpayment is identified, the rooms can usually process a refund or adjustment back to your card or bank account. If you still have concerns after speaking with them, you can then discuss options with your bank or insurer.

Why is there a small or temporary ‘pending’ charge from Dr Devesh Kaushal on my card?

For some bookings—particularly elective or bariatric procedures—the practice may place a pre-authorisation or take a small test transaction to verify your card details or secure your appointment. These authorisations can appear as pending charges and may later drop off or be incorporated into the final bill. If a pending amount does not clear or you don’t proceed with treatment, contact the practice to confirm whether the hold has been released. Your bank can also advise how long pending transactions typically remain on your account.

How can I update my payment details or arrange a payment plan with Dr Devesh Kaushal’s practice?

To update card details or discuss payment options, you’ll need to contact the rooms directly using the details on drdeveshkaushal.com.au. For larger surgical fees or gaps, the practice may be able to discuss staged payments or timing your payment around when Medicare and your health fund rebates are paid, though this is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Always arrange any payment plan in advance of your procedure to avoid delays or last-minute issues with admission or surgery.
