About the Hospital Search
Health Care Insurance Ltd has agreements with most private hospitals that are likely to be accessed by members. These agreements ensure that an agreed schedule of fees (including in-patient accommodation, theatre and special unit accommodation fees as appropriate) is charged by the hospital and paid by Health Care Insurance Ltd on the member’s behalf. Please note that a member’s benefit entitlements will be affected by factors such as their level and type of cover and the financial status of their membership. This will affect the amount Health Care Insurance Ltd will reimburse to the hospital.

Health Care Insurance Ltd strongly recommends the member contact them on 1800 804 950 to confirm their benefit entitlement prior to receiving hospital treatment.

NB. Members who choose a non-agreement hospital may incur out-of-pocket expenses for most hospital related services irrespective of their level of cover.

Please note
Search results will continue to include those private hospitals with which Health Care Insurance Ltd has previously accepted contracts until such time as Health Care Insurance Ltd terminates a contract. This means that the search results will continue to display information relating to a private hospital where a contract with that hospital is up for renewal but Health Care Insurance Ltd has not yet decided whether or not to renew the contract.

Health Care Insurance Ltd will use its best endeavours to respond promptly to renewals so that search results are as accurate as is reasonably possible.
