My background is my young adult daughter was hospitalised in May. She has a medical card but she also has private health insurance.
About day 6 of stay doctors confirmed she was out of HDU and back to general ward but treatment would continue for 6 weeks. In the hope that she would be assigned a private room I elected to move her to a private patient for the rest of her stay.
Will her whole stay now be considered private or only from day 6? The reason I ask is Laya have rejected an MRI scan done on day 3 as this hospital MRI unit is not covered under Laya. Obviously we were unaware of this at the time as she was sent for the MRI as a public patient and presumably the MRI company have a contract with the HSE.
