The costs associated with your cancer treatment and follow-up care will depend on the type of treatment you receive.
In general, your private health insurance will cover most of the costs for treatment that you receive in hospital with Ramsay Cancer Care.
You may need to pay additional fees for:
  • Your doctor
  • Any regular scans
  • Allied health services (such as physiotherapy).
You can access a limited number of Medicare-funded allied health appointments through a chronic disease management or mental health plan from your GP. There may be a small gap payment associated with these appointments.

Getting financial support

Being diagnosed with and treated for cancer can significantly impact your finances and cause financial strain.

If this happens, it’s important to know there are ways to ease this financial stress.

  • You may be able to access a lump sum payment from your superannuation fund on compassionate grounds. This can help cover the costs of treatment, transport or rehabilitation.
  • You may be eligible for income protection.
  • You may be able to get temporary relief from personal debt or mortgage repayments from your bank/financial institution.

Speak with your superannuation fund, bank or financial advisor to learn more about your options.
