Out-of-pocket expenses
When you go to a Members’ Choice hospital, you may have some out-of-pocket expenses including medical services provided by your surgeon or anaesthetist. The hospital and doctors treating you should inform you about their costs before you go to hospital.
It’s also good to talk to us to find out what benefits will be paid, so you can know upfront if you will have any out-of-pockets and can focus on what’s important – getting better sooner.
See Things Worth Knowing for information about our assessment rules and out-of-pockets.
