​

Surgeon's Private Hospital Gap Cover

​

A 'gap' is the amount you pay either for medical or hospital charges, over and above what you get back from Medicare or your private health insurer when you are an inpatient in a private hospital.

​

Surgeons have gap cover agreements with the majority of health funds.

​

This means you should not have to pay any out of pocket expenses to your surgeon for your care in a private hospital.

​

If you are unsure please check with your health fund that they have a gap cover agreement with your surgeon.
