Cover for In-Room Procedures

Overview
During the past few years, a variety of care settings outside of the hospital environment have emerged.
This is due to improvements in technology and care delivery presenting the opportunity to safely perform procedures in the doctor’s rooms instead of in hospital, where the healthcare professional deems this appropriate.   
The attached document tells you how we cover approved procedures carried out in the doctor’s rooms, depending on your chosen plan.
It is important to call us to preauthorise your procedure as soon as it is scheduled.
