What this means for our members
Following MHS and IPHOA's contract termination, Emergency Services Health members who attend the MHS and IPHOA hospitals listed above are likely to be charged large out-of-pocket costs.
This will not affect you if you have already booked treatment at the MHS and IPHOA hospitals listed above, or do so before midnight Sunday 15 March 2026, as the contract has transitional arrangements.
To confirm what your out-of-pocket costs will be, we strongly advise you to call your MHS or IPOA hospital.
We also encourage you to discuss your options with your doctor
Your treating doctor is the best person to ask about your options, and whether it's possible to schedule your treatment at another nearby hospital or day surgery where we have an agreement. Our contracted hospitals are listed on our website here.
