Fee structure I $430 Facility Fee
At WiSE Plus Norwest, as with all private emergency departments, there are out-of-pocket costs associated with your treatment. The standard Emergency Department fee is $430, which must be paid on the day of your visit.
We welcome all patients, regardless of whether you have private health insurance, are covered by Workcover or Veteran’s Affairs, or are uninsured.
Additional fees may apply for radiology, pathology, and specialist doctor consultations, depending on your treatment. Some of these costs may be partially claimable through Medicare.
Please note that Emergency Department fees are not covered by private health insurance, as outlined in the Private Health Insurance Act 2007. Private health insurance only applies to costs incurred after a patient is admitted to the hospital.
