This typically applies to private patients in public hospitals or patients in private hospitals claiming Medicare benefits.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis amount represents the gap between what Medicare/private insurers pay and the total cost of hospital care. Patients (or their health insurers) must pay this daily charge directly to the hospital."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-19-2007-nsw","history":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-19-2007-nsw/history","analysis":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-19-2007-nsw/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-19-2007-nsw/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-19-2007-nsw/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/health-insurance-act-1973-determination-of-patient-contribution-under-subsection-3-1-hib-19-2007-nsw/documents"}}
