Going into hospital

Access to a wider choice of hospitals and the comfort and security of private medical facilities is one of the main benefits of health insurance cover. The following shows you exactly what hospital cover you are entitled to under each scheme on the SimplyHealth Suite.

It’s also good to note, consultant fees relating to your hospital stay will be covered in full provided the consultant is fully participating with Laya Healthcare. 99% of consultants participate with us and you can call us to confirm your cover.
