Accounts Receivable Office - Hospital Fees/Charges

If a patient is admitted, the eligibility team will confirm a patient’s eligibility and is able to discuss the cost of treatment and payment while the patient is in hospital. The eligibility team are the only people able to confirm a patient’s eligibility or costs.

A patient will be invoiced as soon as possible after discharge.

We do not invoice Insurance companies.  The insurance coverage is between a patient and their insurance company.  We expect the patient to pay us and claim it back from their insurance company.

If you do not pay your treatment bill the debt will be referred to a debt collection agency. You will be expected to pay for the extra costs that result from the debt collection process. 

Outpatient services are required to be paid in advance. Payments can be made at the Accounts Receivable Office at Middlemore Hospital.  When you pay you will be issued with a receipt which you will be required to present at your appointment.

Methods of payment: EFTPOS, Direct Credit Payment Option.
