Private Health Insurance
Prior to your admission, we will undertake a health fund check to verify your insurance and provide you with an estimate of any out of pocket expenses. You will be required to pay this on admission.
You are not required to pay the portion of your account that is covered by your health fund as we’ll claim benefits on your behalf.
Self-Insured Patients
Self-insured patients are required to pay the estimated hospital account at time of admission.
Department of Veterans' Affairs
Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) patients will have their account directly sent to the DVA for payment. DVA patients are responsible for calls made to mobiles, long distance (STD) and international (ISD) numbers. Local calls are free.
DVA patients are covered for shared room accommodation only. Should you elect to upgrade to a private room, you will need to pay $50 per night.
See DVA for information about DVA services at Dubbo Private Hospital and further details about your hospital stay.
Workers Compensation & Motor Accidents Authority Insurance Patients
Workers Compensation and Motor Accidents Authority insurance patients will need to make arrangements to have their claim approved prior to admission.
Other Charges
After you leave hospital you may receive bills for other charges incurred during your stay that are not the responsibility of the hospital and are therefore charged separately. These may include (but are not limited to) fees relating to:
- Your treating doctor
- Anaesthesia
- A Surgical Assistant
- Pathology
- Radiology
- Pharmacy
- Allied health
- Phone calls to long distance (STD), international (ISD) and mobile numbers
