The Australian Medical Association has rejected calls for greater transparency on surgical fees, saying it was not possible for patients to compare prices for operations in the same way they might shop around for a dishwasher.

Appearing at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, AMA president Brian Owler, who is a neurosurgeon, said his organisation did not support the charging of excessive fees, but said the appropriate fee for a procedure depended on the patient's condition.

''It is not possible to put up on a website all of our fees … and be able to go, like you're buying a dishwasher, and be able to work out which doctor you're going to on the basis of the fee that they charge,'' Associate Professor Owler said.

''The experience and qualifications of many of the doctors will vary, their practices will vary, and really you need to see a patient to understand what their problem is, then formulate with that patient the best plan of management.''
