Healthscope Hospitals Update 2025

The Australian Health Services Alliance (AHSA), affecting AHSA member funds including HIF, was unable to reach an agreement with Healthscope Hospitals.

Healthscope made the decision to terminate our agreement, which will come into effect at 11.59pm 3 March, 2025.

If you are pre-booked for services up to six months after the agreement termination date (as above), your coverage continues as normal under the level of cover you have with the subsequent benefits. This is known as ‘transitional cover’.

The eligibility for the transitional cover usually falls into one of the below categories:

• If your treatment commenced prior to 4 March 2025
• If you have pre-booked a procedure (up to six months after the agreement termination date)
• If you are pregnant and are pre-booked for delivery date
• Patients who are already undergoing a course of treatment prior to 4 March
• If you require an emergency admission

From 4 March 2025, we will no longer have an agreement with the Healthscope Hospital group. You’ll still be able to be treated in a Healthscope Hospital but are likely to incur additional out of pocket expenses. Please complete a Medical Estimate Form via our website or contact us if you’d like more information.

If you choose to contact us, please have the following details ready:

• Name of Hospital
• Date of admission
• Provider name and provider number
• Item numbers
• Individual Charges / Fee’s
