Bupa-Healthscope Dispute Update

Australian Medical Association

The AMA has spoken with Bupa about communications sent to their members about the upcoming termination of their contract with Healthscope.

We have been reassured that doctors with a relationship with Bupa will receive formal communication from Bupa early next week.

If a patient has questions about what this means for them, you can refer them to Bupa's FAQ website .

The AMA is strongly encouraging both parties to resume negotiations to prevent the contract ending on 20 February.
