From 4 March 2025, we will no longer have an agreement with the Healthscope Hospital group. This means if you choose to be treated at one of the hospitals below you may experience higher out-of-pocket costs for any new treatments effective 4 March 2025.We encourage you to discuss any concerns in relation to this with your treating specialist to understand if they can facilitate admission at an alternative hospital to avoid any out-of-pocket costs.

You can find alternative Member Plus hospitals that have arrangements with us at hbf.com.au/use-cover/find-a-provider.

There are transitional arrangements for all pre-booked services to ensure that you will not be affected by the Healthscope agreement termination. All pre-booked maternity services are covered by the agreement for nine months post termination. All other pre-booked services (except emergency admissions) are covered by the agreement until 4 September 2025 or until your course of treatment is concluded. 

We recommend that you obtain a benefit quote from us prior to commencing any treatment so you know what’s covered and understand any out-of-pocket costs.

On 22 November 2024, Healthscope announced it was terminating its agreement with the Australian Health Services Alliance (AHSA), affecting AHSA member funds including HBF.  This agreement covers HBF in all states except in WA, where a separate Healthscope agreement exists.  The termination is effective from 4 March 2025.
