Before any patient is admitted to the Addiction Recovery Program, they will undergo a pre-admission assessment by the member of the clinical team at the Malvern Private Hospital. The admin staff will then check their personal details, including Private Health Cover, if applicable. Once these procedures have been successfully completed, their admission will be scheduled, and the patient will be given an admission date and time.
Accommodation
Malvern Private Hospital has both single rooms and shared rooms. Patients will be assigned to a bed based on their condition and the determination of the clinical staff to what is deemed appropriate. |
Accounts / Billing
Malvern Private Hospital has agreements with most major health funds, which means the patients admission will be fully covered (excluding any excess or co-payment the cover may have). If self-insured the patient will be required to make payments 14 days in advance. Malvern Private Hospital provides all patients with informed financial consent, ensuring they are aware of any out-of-pocket expenses prior to admission.
Patient rights and responsibilities
It is important that patients are aware of their rights and responsibilities as a patient. A copy of the Rights and Responsibilities booklet will be provided to each patient, either prior to admission, or on admission. |
