Before Your Admission

When we have received your completed admission form, one of our friendly team members will contact you to confirm your admission details and discuss the information you have provided, including any special requirements. If you have private health insurance we will also discuss those details with you and any relevant out of pocket expenses. All excesses attached to your hospital insurance are to be paid prior to, or on the day of surgery, and are an out of pocket expense.  (This means that you cannot claim them back from your health fund or from Medicare)

Your Privacy

This includes the way we conduct, store, use and disclose your health information.  Your medical record is your own private information.  It will only be discussed with third parties with your consent or when justified by law. You are entitled to see your medical record at any stage, upon written request. It may be necessary for parts of your medical record to be disclosed to other medical professionals to ensure the best possible treatment.  We may need to disclose information in order to run the day hospital.  This includes but is not limited to disclosing information to your health fund, Medicare, The Department of Health and Ageing, or suppliers and/or manufacturers of prosthetics used during your admission.
