Solution
The correct answer is D. private patients only receive rebate from their own private health insurer. In Australia, private patients can receive a rebate from both Medicare and their private health insurance company for hospital treatments. Medicare provides a rebate of 75% of the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee for in-hospital treatments. Private health insurance can cover the remaining 25% of the MBS fee, and potentially more, depending on the patient's policy.
