Pharmacy Daily | Healthscope link to Medibank

Healthscope and Medibank have announced a new two year contract to deliver health care services to Medibank members. Company ceo Robert Cooke said that the contract represented a very positive outcome for Healthscope. “By working in partnership to reduce waste and inefficiency, we’re helping to keep private healthcare accessible and affordable, and allowing scarce resources to be redirected to where they are most needed,” Cooke said. Medibank md George Savvides said that the renewed partnership was a great example of how hospitals and insurers could work together to help tackle the growing challenges facing Australia’s health system. “This is all about spending our members’ premiums wisely,” he said, adding that Medibank hospital providers now cover nearly 70% of major private hospitals across Australia.
