The Private Practice Specialist clinics offer patients ready access to a wide range of specialist medical services conducted by the staff of the Hospital. As some clinics are bulk billing, patients attending the clinics may require their Medicare Card to facilitate billing for the visit.
As not all Private Practice Clinics are held in a central location the patient attending or the referring doctor should confirm the location when making the appointment. As a general guide, unless an alternate location or telephone number is listed, the clinic is held in the Private Practice Specialist Suites (PPSS).
If you have private medical insurance you will need to provide these details on your admission. If you choose to be treated as a private patient, you must pay for all the costs of your care including hospital accommodation, medical and diagnostic services, and the services provided by your doctor and other medical specialists, such as anaesthetists.
If your doctor is allowed to work at the hospital and agrees to treat you, you will be guaranteed the private doctor of your choice. Whilse private patients are treated in Queensland Health hospitals, a single room is not guaranteed. Very ill or infectious patients always have priority for single rooms.
