Ezyclaim specialists
Private inpatients are covered for 100% of the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee for in-hospital services performed by surgeons, anaesthetists and other specialists. The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee is the amount determined by the Commonwealth Government for this purpose of paying Medicare benefits. It is not necessarily the amount that a doctor will charge, but it is the basis from which the Medicare benefit is determined. Of this fee, Medicare contributes 75% and HBA contributes 25%.
If the doctor charges above the Schedule Fee, the patient is required to pay any resulting gap. This gap amount is not recoverable from Medicare or from HBA. HBA will only pay medical costs above this where HBA has an agreement with the Doctor. This is known as Ezyclaim.
Many specialists are currently registered with our fund as Ezyclaim specialists. It is important to note that the use of Ezyclaim is at the provider's discretion and we recommend you discuss the use of Ezyclaim with your doctor.
