What this does

This instrument sets the daily patient contribution fee for patients treated in recognized private hospitals in Victoria.

Under the Health Insurance Act 1973, patients receiving hospital treatment may be required to pay a daily contribution toward their accommodation costs (the amount the patient pays out-of-pocket, separate from Medicare and private insurance rebates). This determination:

Revokes all previous fee settings for Victorian hospitals
Sets the new daily fee at $36.40 for treatment on or after 20 March 2006

This fixes the specific dollar amount that Victorian hospitals can charge as the patient's daily contribution toward hospital accommodation costs.
