Costs of In-Hospital Care
We are a no-gap provider with the majority of Australian health insurance companies, and would therefore directly bill your fund for in-hospital care, with no out-of-pocket expense to you. Please discuss your situation with us if you do not have health insurance, or you are uncertain about what your insurance policy covers.
Gap Charges From Other Health Care Providers
It is important to note that from time to time there may be gap charges from other associated health care specialists such as anaethetists and pathology service providers during your outpatient and inpatient care. These will vary in amount and especially in emergency situations which are unpredictable. SJOG Hospital estimates that the average patient will be between $90-$250 out of pocket from any hospital stay pathology services.
