Fees & Charges
Patients with private health insurance are usually covered for procedures or surgery at Maryvale Private Hospital. Your health fund will be billed directly for these and hospital accommodation fees. However, you may have to pay an excess or co-payment, which is payable on admission to the hospital, and additional out-of-pocket costs for services provided. We will confirm any changes prior to admission.
If you have private hospital insurance, contact your health fund to check that your policy covers you for your treatment. Your fund will advise if an excess applies and any out-of-pocket expenses.
If you do not hold private health insurance, you may wish to self-fund your admission. We have a range of self-funded options available and further details are listed here. You can also contact us for a custom estimate on (03) 5132 1215 or selfpay@maryvaleph.com.au.
Private health insurance
Depending on your level of cover with your health fund, an out-of-pocket balance may be payable for your admission. Our friendly admissions team will contact you via email, prior to your planned admission to advise of any out-of-pocket expenses. All estimated out-of-pocket expenses are
payable prior to, or on admission.
Questions you may wish to ask your insurer:
- Does my policy cover me for this procedure or service?
- Under my policy, do I have to pay an excess or a co-payment or any other
charges? If so, how much? - Will I have to pay extra for my hospital accommodation, my doctors’ fees and
those of anyone else involved with my treatment, or is it all covered
under my policy? - If I have to pay extra, when and to whom do I pay it?
