Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument sets the daily amount that patients must pay out-of-pocket when receiving care in recognized private hospitals in Tasmania.

Who it affects: Patients receiving hospital treatment in Tasmanian private hospitals recognized under the national health insurance system (typically those with private health insurance coverage).

Key details:

Amount: $36.40 per day
Effective date: 20 March 2006
Previous rules: Revokes all earlier determinations that set different amounts for Tasmania

Why it matters: This determines the daily 'gap' or co-payment patients contribute toward their hospital accommodation costs — the portion not covered by Medicare or private health insurance benefits. It ensures patients know exactly what they will be charged per day for their stay.
