  • Title: The hidden cost of private health insurance in Australia.
    Author: Seah DS, Cheong TZ, Anstey MH.
    Journal: Aust Health Rev; 2013 Feb; 37(1):1-3. PubMed ID: 23199697.
    Abstract:
    The provision of health services in Australia currently is primarily financed by a unique interaction of public and private insurers. This commentary looks at a loophole in this framework, namely that private insurers have to date been able to avoid funding healthcare for some of their policy holders, as it is not a requirement to use private insurance when treatment occurs in Australian public hospitals.
