Patient fees


If you are a member of a health fund or covered by compensation, it is important to confirm some details of your coverage (i.e. Workers’ Compensation, MAIB or DVA), information you should confirm includes:

  • That your level of Health Fund Cover / compensation adequately covers the cost of the procedure and accommodation outlined in the Pre-Admission Form. E.g. In the case of postnatal patients, is your newborn baby covered?
  • Are there any exclusions on your health cover, e.g. psychiatric exclusions.
  • If an excess is payable for this admission.
  • If you have been a member of your health fund for less then 12 months your fund may not accept liability for the costs of this admission. E.g. If your condition or any symptoms of your condition existed prior to your joining. If there is a question regarding pre-existing symptoms your health fund has the option to obtain details in this regard from your GP or specialist.
STD/mobile telephone calls and sundry item charges are payable on discharge. Please note that medical and allied health practitioner’s fees may be billed separately by the practitioner.
