Hospital Agreements

nib Health Funds has agreements with 60 private hospitals across Australia.

When you're treated at an agreed hospital, you're covered for accommodation, theatre fees, and prostheses at the negotiated rate — minimising or eliminating gap payments. At a non-agreed hospital, you may face significant out-of-pocket costs even for covered procedures.
