Search for a Contracted Hospital near you
Emergency Services Health has contracts with most private hospitals that are likely to be accessed by members - over 500 in fact.
These contract agreements ensure that an agreed schedule of fees (including in-patient accommodation, theatre and special unit accommodation fees as appropriate) is charged by the hospital and paid by Emergency Services Health on the member’s behalf.
If you choose a non-contracted hospital you are likely to incur out-of-pocket expenses for hospital related services irrespective of your level of cover. The amount of out-of-pocket cost will vary, but the hospital will provide you with a quote of the exact costs prior to your treatment as part of seeking Informed Financial Consent from you. If you are uncomfortable with the costs, speak to us and your doctor prior to signing your consent.
Member’s benefit entitlements will also be affected by factors such as level and type of cover and the financial status of their membership. This will affect the amount Emergency Services Health will reimburse to the hospital.
We strongly recommend if you contact us on 1300 703 703 to confirm your benefit entitlement prior to receiving hospital treatment.
Please note
This search function is facilitated through the Australian Health Service Alliance (AHSA). Search results are will continue to include those private hospitals with which Emergency Services Health has previously accepted contracts until such time as Emergency Services Health terminates a contract. This means that the search results will continue to display information relating to a private hospital where a contract with that hospital is up for renewal but Emergency Services Health has not yet decided whether or not to renew the contract. Emergency Services Health will use its best endeavours to respond promptly to renewals so that search results are as accurate as is reasonably possible. In the event that a Hospital Contract is terminated, Police Health will contact all members likely to be impacted (based on location) to explain the transitional arrangements.
