Few weeks later got bill for €300 (€75 x 5)
The main incentive to sign when in A&e is that if you don't sign you will be charged the €80 per night unless you have a medical card. Happened to me before ; was in A&e for hours(and hours) eventually admitted to public ward. Didn't sign as really objected to Aviva being charged €750 per night. Few weeks later got bill for €300 (€75 x 5) so did ring up and gave my health insurance details. They have you over a barrel - the €750/€800 per night is some type of 'average' of what it costs to run a hospital.
Otherwise, is there any danger that if you declare details of cover that there could be any shortfall in the amount payable under your insurance ? Do, or must, all health insurers provide full cover for the per diem charge in a public hospital ?
