If your procedure is not covered by a contract (e.g. ACC, DHB or other funder) and you have no private medical insurance cover, a prepayment is required prior to admission.

The prepayment amount will be estimated by our accounts staff and when you have been discharged an invoice will be completed. If the invoice is for more than the prepayment received, the additional amount will need to be paid as per our Terms and Conditions of Payment. If the final invoice is for less than the prepayment, a refund for the difference will be made to you either by cheque or credit card.

How to prepay your estimated account

Please make sure you complete the ‘Paying Personally’ section on Form 2 and ensure the dollar amount in the box is the hospital estimate only. Accepted payment options are:

- Up to 24 hours prior to admission:
  Credit Card or Internet Banking
  (refer to Form 2 for bank account details or phone our receptionist)

- Up to 7 working days prior to admission:

In addition, the payment of a refundable bond will be required on or before your discharge for any mobility equipment loaned to you by the hospital.
