FAQs
Can I claim through Medicare?
Yes, all appointments or interaction with our doctors are able to be claimed through Medicare. This includes doctor’s consultation for GP appointment, for injury sustained, for X-Ray images, fracture (broken bone) management, dislocation management.
Why am I out of pocket?
Medicare cover some, but not all of our fees. The ‘gap’ for doctor’s consultation and management is an out of pocket cost. Equipment used like slings, plaster, crutches or other consumables are a cost to you.
What are the ambulance costs at Mt Hotham Alpine Resort?
All medical assessments and treatments will be initiated with our experienced team. There are some cases where we need to transfer you to a hospital for further investigations, treatment and care.
At times, this is required to be by Ambulance Victoria, by road or by helicopter. We highly recommend you have ambulance insurance for these costs. Please click here for Ambulance Victoria membership.
