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 the Health Sense scheme.
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. Ninety nine percent of consultants participate with us and you can call us to confirm your cover.
