No Health Insurance

Patients may be able to choose private admission even if they do not have private health insurance. Self-funded patients will be liable to pay the following:

• The gap between the Medicare benefit and any specialist’s charge
• The gap for diagnostic services (medical imaging and laboratory), however some of these services may be bulk billed to Medicare, that is no ‘gap’
• Hospital accommodation fees (bed charge)
• Surgically implanted prostheses

Essentially this means you must meet all costs of the admission yourself except those covered by Medicare.
