What if I am ineligible for Medicare?

Determining your inpatient cost of care

Public hospitals are required to provide a clear explanation of the financial responsibilities of a Medicare Ineligible patient. This includes informing you of any out of pocket expenses (gaps), by all relevant service providers, before you are admitted to hospital or as soon as circumstances permit.

For all Australian or international health insurance policies, upfront payment in full or a guarantee of payment from the insurer is required.

The hospital will perform a membership eligibility check on your behalf to ensure you have appropriate cover for your admission and where possible, secure a guarantee of payment.  You will be responsible for any shortfall such as excess/co-payment on your policy.

If you do not have any health or travel insurance, then you will be required to pay the full amount of your estimated account before admission.

Holders of travel insurance may be able to lodge a claim for these costs through their travel insurance company after payment has been made.  invoices can be generated once you have been discharged and all services have been finalised.

Fees for additional or unplanned services are payable on, or shortly after the day of your discharge.

Can I get an interpreter?

It is Victorian Government policy for health services to provide an interpreting and translation service. The interpreters are accredited through a national body and are bound by a code of ethics. They interpret objectively and confidentially and do not add their opinion or filter information.

LRH uses an interpreter service to help patients and their families make informed choices and understand important information about treatment, medication, the admission process, discharge, or simply their rights and responsibilities while in the hospital’s care.

The interpreter service covers many languages including Australian Sign Language or Auslan for people who are hearing impaired. There is tactile signing for people who are deaf and have vision impairment.

Family and friends are discouraged from acting as an interpreter.

An interpreter interprets the spoken word from one language to another and is is bound by a code of ethics. They do not add their opinion or filter information (although they may ask either party for clarification to best interpret the information).

When should an interpreting service be used?
If the hospital is having difficulties communicating with you, an interpreter may be required.
Assistance may be useful if you are under stress.

You may also need an interpreter to understand important information such as the hospital admission process and discharge, medical history, treatment, prescribed drugs, entitlements or rights and responsibilities.

Access to the interpreting service
A hospital staff member will organise an interpreter for you. Most languages are available through the interpreter service used by the hospital. While every effort will be made to secure an interpreter at a suitable time, their services are in demand and are subject to availability.

Is there anywhere I can smoke?

No. LRH has a smoke-free policy across the entire site including outdoor areas and car parks. As a hospital and the home of the Gippsland Cancer Care Centre, it is important we have measures in place to encourage good health.
If you need help to quit smoking, let your treating team know.

How much does the television service cost?

It’s free! There is no cost to use the TV at your bedside.

Is there a patient transport service?

There is a free patient transport service to eligible patients. Access to the service is available to patients who are unable to drive themselves safely to and from the hospital or do not have a carer, friends or relatives to take them.

Patients who are unable to afford private or public transport may also be eligible.
