FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

What is Informed Financial Consent?

Before receiving treatment, your doctor, health provider and/or hospital should provide you with a quote which sets out any out-of-pocket costs that you will be required to pay. If they do not provide this upfront, you are entitled to request this quote.

Understanding this information and knowing all the estimated costs of your procedure will allow you to provide informed financial consent for the costs of your treatment.

More information on providing Informed Financial Content can be found on the Australian Medical Association's (AMA) website.
