Day Infusion Unit Fees

Insured Patients

Details of your health insurance should be provided prior to your admission. Depending on your type of cover, you may pay an excess or co-payment on the day of your admission. Health fund policies require members to serve waiting periods before they will provide cover. We strongly recommend that you contact your health fund to confirm your cover prior to your admission.
Tasman Health Care will lodge a claim with your Private Health Fund. Oral medications, prescribed for you to take at home are not included in your hospital admission. These items will be invoiced at cost.

Uninsured patients

If you do not have private health insurance, you must pay the estimated cost of your fee on admission. As this is an estimate only, any additional procedures performed may incur an extra fee therefore an invoice may be posted to you. There is no Medicare rebate for these fees.
In certain circumstances, uninsured patients may not incur day unit infusion fees.
