Financial Info

Patients Covered by Private Health Care:

Montserrat Day Hospitals is a "simplified billing" and "no gap" billing hospital. You will be informed prior to the procedure of out-of-pocket expenses. Simplified billing means that, with your consent, the accounts for your procedures will be sent to the relevant health funds. If you have adequate cover for your procedure the account will be settled with them. If not fully covered you will be asked, on the day for payment of the excess specific to your policy.

In some cases anaesthetic services will be forwarded to you on a separate account.

If Biopsy tissue is sent for pathology you will receive another account from a pathology service provider.

Self-Insured Patients:

Self-insured patients will be provided with a cost estimate for their procedure. Payment will be required on the day.

Theatre Fees:

In some cases the theatre fees are payable based on an estimate of time in theatre made by your surgeon prior to admission. If the time in theatre exceeds the estimate then additional charges will be applied.

WorkCover:

If you are claiming WorkCover insurance, company approval will need to be obtained prior to your admission. Please check with your doctor, or with us, that approval has been granted for your procedure. You will be asked to provide us with your approval number prior to admission.

Veterans' Affairs:

Veterans' Affairs do not always cover hospital and doctors' fees. Prior approval is required for your procedure to be undertaken at our facility. Please check with our reception staff for advice.
