Since 2008, the two hi-tech hospitals Mater Private and Blackrock Clinic are not collecting shortfalls for a wide range of surgery - including the special procedures surgery list. These waivers apply to all providers including Laya.
Do I understand this correctly? Are you saying that Mater Private and Blackrock are effectively applying a large discount to their bills for these 'special procedures' by not collecting the shortfall?The actual reality of this is a different story altogether.

I'm afraid Macdo is correct Snowyb. Laya will always have shortfalls on Special Procedures in High Tech Hospitals except on their highest levels of cover.
In a nutshell yes. Apparently since 2008. It depends on the provider you're with, the plan you're on and the hospital in question as to what's waived or not.
I wonder how many people with health insurance in general are aware of it?

Hi pj111,
Is the 'special procedures list' the same as the Fixed Price Procedures list?
