Important information for self-insured maternity patients at Westmead Hospital 2015-2016

Please read carefully

This information is fpr patients who do not hold private health insurance but choose to be self-insured and see their doctor, as a private patient, in the Doctor's private rooms.
If you fall into this category, you will be admitted as a self-insured (private) maternity patient, and will be required to pay an accommodation fee to the hospital, which will cover you for 2 days as a private patient. After these 2 days your classification will be changed to non-chargeable for the remainder of your admission, thus keeping your costs to a minimum. Included in this hospital package are:

  • Any theatre fees, costs and consumables
  • Any diagnostic services, eg. X-rays, blood tests etc. (These are claimed via Simplified Billing)
  • Any pharmacy costs
  • Nursing and ward costs.

Note: The Self-Insured Maternity accommodation fee for the 2015-2016 financial year is $1330:00. This fee is in addition to the charge from any specialist medical staff, eg Obstetrician, Anaesthetist, Surgeon, and is not claimable from Medicare.

  • If you do not make payment when requested, your booking as a private patient will not be accepted
  • Should your stay in hospital be less than 2 days you will receive a refund
  • Payment is required prior to your admission to hospital
  • The Hospital will accept the Medicare rebate amount as full payment for any diagnostic (radiology and pathology) services provided by Westmead Hospital; no out of pocket costs for these services
  • You will need to discuss your private doctor's fees with him/her personally prior to your admission.
