AIA Health members remain covered at Healthscope hospitals

AIA Health is committed to providing our members with high quality and affordable private hospital cover. This agreement ensures our members can continue to access care at Healthscope hospitals without additional out-of-pocket expenses.

The Australian Health Service Alliance is a member-owned, not-for-profit service organisation that facilitates arrangements with healthcare providers on behalf of health funds, including AIA Health.

AIA Health Insurance is a member of the Australian Health Service Alliance (AHSA), who has held contracts with Healthscope for many years.
 
Recently, Healthscope claimed that AHSA funds were not paying their fair share of hospital costs and was seeking to impose an additional ‘Hospital Facility Fee’ on AIA Health Insurance members who attended its hospitals. We did not accept the additional fee as we did not want AIA Health Insurance members to be charged for an unnecessary hospital-imposed fee and have increased out-of-pocket costs.
 
As a result, Healthscope intended to terminate our agreement effective from 4 March 2025.
 
However, after continued negotiations, AHSA announced on 3 March 2025 that they reached an in-principle agreement with Healthscope, ensuring AIA Health members can continue to access care at Healthscope hospitals without additional out-of-pocket expenses.
