Hospital Charges

We advise intending patients to check with their health care insurance company before opting for semi-private or private care. The level of cover set out by your insurer is liable to change from time to time. Patients may find that their private health insurance does not cover all the costs they incur whilst in hospital, and will be expected to pay any excess in full.

Direct Payment 

We operate a direct payment scheme with VHI, Laya Healthcare, Irish Life Health, Garda Medical Aid, ESB, Medical Provident Fund, and Prison Officers Medical Aid. If you are covered by any of these insurers, the relevant insurance forms are signed electronically on your admission to hospital.

Perhaps you have moved house or got married recently and have forgotten to update your health insurance details? It's extremely important for you to make sure - before you give birth -  that your name, address and date of birth correspond with the name, address and date of birth your insurer has on their files and your policy.

What happens if I have no private health insurance?

Patients who request private or semi-private care and accommodation, and who are not covered by private health insurance, will be required to pay a deposit on booking, which will be deducted from your final bill.
