With the recent news that Healthscope Hospital Group has gone into receivership, it’s important to reassure our members that they can access high quality local private and public hospital services across Australia1.
Although in receivership, Healthscope has confirmed patients can be admitted and treated at their hospitals with no interruption to surgeries, emergency departments or any other health services – and no change to costs or fees. Full statement here.
Whether HIF members choose Healthscope for their treatment, or seek alternatives, our Fund holds agreements with over 500 private hospitals across Australia – providing choice and access to high-quality and affordable private healthcare for members. HIF will continue to pay benefits on eligible products to members if they receive treatment at a Healthscope Hospital. For more information, visit our FAQ page.
