FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

Why do public hospitals have to provide an election form as well as the eligibility form?


We request a signed patient election form completed by the member to confirm they have given their permission to go into a public hospital as a pre-booked private patient. This form needs to be signed and dated within seven days before admission. No eligibility checks will be given without this consent form.
