Where can I find a Union Health contracted hospital?
We have contracts with an extensive network of private hospitals which enables us to pay agreed benefits for services included on your cover.
Usually, this means you have nothing to pay for a hospital stay unless you have an excess on your cover or there are medical out-of-pocket expenses.
Our hospital contracts vary from time to time and you may have additional out-of-pocket costs for stays in non-contracted hospitals, so please check the below list of our contracted hospitals before each admission.
We also recommend you contact us to confirm your benefit entitlement prior to receiving hospital treatment.
Please note, the contracted agreement with Epworth Foundation Group of Hospitals ends on 30 April 2024. For alternative hospitals within a 15km radius of an Epworth facility please click here.
Union Health Fund has agreements with most private hospitals that are likely to be accessed by members. These agreements ensure that an agreed schedule of fees (including in-patient accommodation, theatre and special unit accommodation fees as appropriate) is charged by the hospital and paid by Union Health Fund on the member’s behalf. Please note that a member’s benefit entitlements will be affected by factors such as their level and type of cover and the financial status of their membership. This will affect the amount Union Health Fund will reimburse to the hospital.
NB. Members who choose a non-agreement hospital may incur out-of-pocket expenses for hospital related services irrespective of their level of cover.
Please note search results will continue to include those private hospitals with which Union Health Fund has previously accepted contracts until such time as Union Health Fund terminates a contract. This means that the search results will continue to display information relating to a private hospital where a contract with that hospital is up for renewal but Union Health Fund has not yet decided whether or not to renew the contract.
Union Health Fund will use its best endeavours to respond promptly to renewals so that search results are as accurate as is reasonably possible.
