In compliance with legislation, from 1 January 2025, Bethesda will upload patient discharge information to My Health Record. If you do not wish for this to occur, please tick the box stating you do not want your health information to be uploaded to your My Health Record when you complete the consent section of your preadmission.
Preadmission telephone interview
Most prospective In-patients (overnight stay) at the Hospital will be contacted by the Preadmission Nurse one-to-two days before admission. This helps ensure you are clear about your procedure, gives you a chance to ask any questions, and allows us to develop an understanding of your clinical history.
Payments - privately insured patients.
If you have private health insurance, verify (with your health fund) the level of your cover and anticipated fees. When you have completed your online admission form, we will confirm your level of cover with your health fund. If you have any excess or co-payments, you will be required to pay these on admission.
If you have any questions about payments, please contact our Accounts Team on (08) 9340 6318 or info@bethesda.org.au.
Payment Plans
Total Lifestyle Credit (TLC) is a third-party funding platform that can provide loans for medical fees from $2,000 to $50,000. This can include specialist doctor, anaesthetist, hospital, after-care and pharmaceutical fees. TLC will discuss your eligibility with you and interest and limits apply. Please click here to visit their website for further information.
Payments - uninsured patients.
If you are uninsured, undergoing cosmetic surgery, or have overseas health insurance, you will receive an estimate of your hospital fees before admission. You can pay fees in person between 9am – 3pm, Monday – Friday, or by credit card over the phone.
If you have questions about payments, please contact our Accounts Team on (08) 9340 6318 or info@bethesda.org.au.
Boarders
If you are an In-Patient and require someone to stay with you overnight, they may only do so by request prior to your admission. It is at the discretion of the Nurse Manager whether a boarder will be permitted to stay on the ward. If approved, a boarder fee will be charged.
