Fees

Melbourne Private Hospital is recognised by all major health funds that will reimburse all treatment costs depending on your level of coverage. We can provide you with an estimate of hospital charges and outline the level of cover by your fund and any out-of-pocket expenses you may incur. Prior approval is sought for compensable patients (i.e. Workcover. MAIB or DVA). Private payment is also accepted. We realise hospital and related charges can sometimes be difficult to understand, so please ask for assistance, we are most happy to help you.

Admission requirements

Your doctor arranges admission to Melbourne Private Hospital. You will be given an admission form to be completed and returned to the hospital as soon as possible (at least 48 hours prior to your admission). The staff of our pre-admission clinic will contact you prior to your day of admission (either by phone or they may request that you make a brief visit to the hospital at a mutually convenient time). They will let you know what time to arrive and what items to bring with you. They will be able to answer any questions or address any concerns that you may have about your stay with us. On arrival, please visit our main reception staff.

As a Department of Veterans’ Affairs Veteran Partnering hospital, you have immediate access to our care, without the need for prior approval in most cases. We also provide help and support through our Veteran Liaison Officer.
