Planning your hospital event

Hospitalisation and associated in-hospital benefits are subject to pre-authorisation; failing to obtain pre-authorisation may lead to benefits being forfeited or co-payments applied. Pre-authorisation for a hospital admission is not a guarantee that all claims related to the hospital event will be covered in full.
