How will I know if my hospital is a Latrobe Health participating hospital?
Your hospital cover is valid across all public hospitals in Australia. For private hospitals or day surgery centres, it's important to check they are a participating hospital. This will help you avoid unforeseen accommodation costs. We have partnerships with a vast number of participating hospitals throughout the country.
View the current list of participating hospitals and day surgery centres or contact us when you find out that you will be going into hospital.
What hospital cover do I have?
You may have to pay an excess or co-payment. This can depend on a number of things, such as:
- The level of cover you have chosen,
- The anticipated length of stay,
- The type of treatment you are having, and
- Whether the hospital you will use is public or private.
To check your personal cover details, please contact us as soon as you find out you will be going into hospital.
