The Hidden Costs of Healthcare - My Today Show Story
Have you ever been hit with an unexpected medical bill? I have.
I spoke about it on the Today Show with Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, sharing my experience of the hidden costs of private healthcare, including a surprise surgeon’s fee I was never told about. And I’m not alone.
The Patient View report from Patients Australia found that 70% of private hospital patients face out-of-pocket costs over $500, with many discovering undisclosed fees after treatment.
Patients deserve transparency and financial disclosure, not hidden fees and bill shock - especially when we’re already vulnerable.
