Healthy Outcome

Healthscope has confirmed it has reached an agreement for a new two year contract with the HCF Group (including HCF, rt health and Transport Health).

Healthscope CEO Greg Horan said he was pleased the hospital group and HCF have secured an agreement which fairly recognises the cost of inflation associated with provision of services to HCF members, and is commercially viable and sustainable for both parties.

“We are delighted to be continuing our long-standing agreement with HCF,” Mr Horan said.“We acknowledge that the recent negotiation process has created uncertainty for HCF members and patients. I’m pleased this new agreement means HCF members can continue to be treated in our hospitals with no additional out of pocket charges.”
