Health insurance explainedHospital insurance helps cover the cost of 'inpatient' services — these are treatments you receive when you're admitted to hospital for care (e.g. for surgery). Hospital insurance helps cover your medical specialists' fees, as well as accommodation, approved prostheses and theatre fees.
The specific hospital treatments and services you're covered for (e.g. chemotherapy, a colonoscopy, tonsil removal, knee reconstructions etc.) depend on the level of hospital cover you choose.
