If you are hospitalised with a medical condition during pregnancy, VHI will pay for the hospital visit, but there are limitations and you should check these with VHI.Its great to have all this info to hand, cos it is such a confusing minefield.
Can I just ask what happens if you choose to go private and it turns into a high risk pregnancy and involves hospitalisation for a few days/wks before the birth?
Will vhi etc pay for extra days in hospital or will the bill have to be paid by patient as they chose not to go public?
thanks

If you are a private patient, you must pay for all ultrasound scans. This may be fully or partially covered by PHI, depending on the plan.
The HIA comparison website, doesn't seem to provide any information on whether a private room is covered. Maybe a maternity case is covered like an ordinary hospital admission. If you have cover for a private room, you get a private room.
Why does it say "Public Hospital Costs up to 3 nights"? Surely that is paid for anyway by the state?
