What is hospital cover?
If your nib health cover is a Hospital and Extras package, or a hospital only cover, then you’ll only be able to claim benefits for hospital treatment that is included in your cover. The level of hospital cover you choose determines the types of procedures you’re covered for (like removal of tonsils, childbirth, heart surgery etc). The higher the level of cover, the more procedures you will be covered for. You should always check what you’re covered for before you go to hospital. Call us on 13 14 63. Your nib hospital cover may also include: • Hospital bed • Meals • Nurses • Operating theatre fees • Birthing suite (depending on your cover) • Intensive care • Doctors and specialists services (including tests) • Government approved, surgically implanted prostheses (e.g. artificial hip) Contact us for more information.
