Typically, patients are required to make a deposit of the total estimated hospital bill size prior to admission for surgery or treatment. This can be large, and can be an issue for individuals who are not able to raise that amount in a short time. Fast access, quality and personalised care can be critical, especially for more serious illnesses. Hence, with the Cashless Service at Parkway East Hospital, eligible* patients no longer have to pay a deposit upon admission or settle the outstanding bill upon discharge. To check on your eligibility and queries on our cashless service, please contact Parkway East Hospital Admission / Business Office at 6653 8037. *Terms and conditions apply
