Payment of Account
You will receive separate accounts from:
The hospital fee covers accommodation, nursing services, theatre charges and medical supplies used in theatre and the ward, and these are also included in the estimate of hospital fees. If physiotherapy or other services are required, you may incur additional costs.
Unless your Surgeon advises you otherwise, the hospital fee figure is an estimate only. For example, an operation may take a shorter or longer time to complete, or you may require a longer stay in hospital than originally estimated. In most cases though your Surgeon will be able to provide you with a reasonably accurate estimate.
We can email your hospital invoice to you if you provide your email details on your admission form.
Insured Patients
