Financial Information

Your hospital account will be forwarded directly to your health fund, however you may receive several accounts for medical, surgical or allied health following your discharge.

Out of Pocket Expenses

Your health insurance fund may not cover:

• Medical Gaps
• STD Phone Calls
• Discharge Medication
• Hire of Equipment

These charges are payable by you upon discharge from hospital.

Note: Patients who have an excess or co-payment as part of their health insurance cover will need to pay this prior to being admitted to hospital.

To avoid unexpected out of pocket expenses, we advise you to contact your health fund to check your level of cover and to discuss potential expenses with your doctor prior to your admission.

Uninsured Patients

Patients who are uninsured are required to pay an estimate of their hospital stay in advance, with the balance payable upon discharge. This must be arranged prior to admission. Estimates and special financial arrangements can be made by contacting the Health Fund Validator on (08) 8159 1102.
