It’s only human to feel a little overwhelmed at the thought of being admitted to hospital. It can seem like another world, and one you probably don’t want to get too used to.
That said, simply understanding your hospital cover – what’s included and what isn’t - can give you the confidence to know what to expect, and what questions to ask your doctors and specialists before treatment.
Call us before you book

That way, you can get a better idea of the hospital admission process, and your rights to choose specialists and a hospital.
