Albany Day Hospital GSSC Specialists
If you do not have private health insurance we can assist you to access appropriate treatment at Albany Day Hospital through our ‘self-funded care’ option.
This is a simple process where you pay in advance from your own pocket
By choosing to self-fund your care you will receive comprehensive private hospital care with:
- quick access, avoiding public hospital waiting lists
- your choice of specialist who cares for you from your initial consultation through to surgery, in hospital and after discharge
How do I self-fund my treatment?
- General practitioner
See your general practitioner (GP) and get a referral to see the specialist of your choice.
- Book appointment
Book an appointment with your specialist and check that they offer self-funding.
- Estimates
Request up-front estimates of the costs involved with your treatment.
You will require three (3) separate quotes; Surgeons fees, Anaesthetist Fee and Private Hospital Fee
- Book surgery
Book your surgery with your specialist.
- Payment
Choose your payment method and pay your cost estimate prior to your procedure
- After discharge
After discharge, any refunds or additional costs are processed.
If you hold a valid Medicare card, you may be entitled to claim some money back. Your specialist and the hospital admissions team will advise before treatment if you are eligible to claim
