Informed Financial Consent
Prior to being admitted to hospital our patients will be provided with an estimate of the
costs associated with their surgical procedure.
- For patients with health insurance, a health fund eligibility check will be performed
to confirm a patient’s level of cover before estimating their expenses. - For self-insured patients, estimates will be based on the item numbers, prosthetics,
disposables, accommodation type and estimated length of stay nominated by the
patient’s Medical Specialist.
Patients will be given written estimates that comply with Australian Commission on Safety
and Quality in Healthcare standards.
Fees and Charges
Please contact Camden Surgical Hospital for an estimate of the fees and charges applicable to your admission.
To provide you with an accurate quote we will require information from your consulting doctor. Where appropriate, we will also require the Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) item numbers chosen by your doctor.
Please note that the estimate we provide is for your hospital visit. It does not include your surgeon’s and anaesthetist’s fees.
If pathology, for example biopsies or other tests are taken whilst in our care, you may receive a separate account for these tests.
We encourage you to contact your Health Insurance fund prior to admission to confirm your level of cover. Your fund will also advise you of any excess or co-payments specific to your policy.
It is important that health fund members are aware that they may incur ‘Out of Pocket’ expenses that will not be covered by their health insurance.
Camden Surgical Hospital offers competitive self-funded rates and welcomes patients who do not have private health insurance.
By choosing to self-fund your care you can experience the benefits of private hospital care including quick access (avoiding public waiting lists) and your choice of a Medical Specialist, who cares for you from your initial consultation right through to after you are discharged from hospital.
Please contact us for an estimate of fees and flexible payment options (see below for Buy Now and Pay Later choices).
Health insurers generally do not pay benefits for purely cosmetic procedures, or the hospital costs associated with them. If you are having elective cosmetic surgery, you will have to self-fund this procedure. Alternatively you can access the Buy Now and Pay Later options below.
Your surgeon will provide information about the fees payable.
Camden Surgical Hospital offers patients access to several digital payment solutions, that enables you to access timely hospital treatment without the stress of managing unexpected or large lump sum bills.
