This includes public hospital patients who choose private patient status, and patients in private hospitals.\n\n**Key points:**\n* **Replaces old rates:** This cancels any previous patient contribution amounts set for NT hospitals.\n* **Daily charge:** The $39.05 applies for each day of hospitalization.\n* **When it applies:** This rate took effect for hospital stays starting from 20 September 2007.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis determines your out-of-pocket costs for hospital accommodation in the NT. If you have private health insurance, your insurer may cover part or all of this contribution, but this figure sets the standard daily rate."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-18-2007-nt","history":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-18-2007-nt/history","analysis":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-18-2007-nt/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-18-2007-nt/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-18-2007-nt/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-18-2007-nt/documents"}}
