Private Hospital and Private Health Insurance
Private hospitals generally offer quality medical services in which patients receive individual care and attention. Private health insurance policies are more flexible than group policies, giving policyholders more choices as to which doctor or medical facility to choose from. There are also more options in the market, so policyholders have ranges of coverage and a wider network of healthcare providers to select from.
Depending on the policy, private health insurance bears partial or the whole costs of treatment in private hospitals as a private patient with the doctor of your choice. Be mindful of the details of your insurance coverage to ascertain what kind of services are covered and not covered before exercising your insurance claims.

How to Choose A Private Medical Centre for Your Treatment?
As a general guideline, ask these questions when you are deciding on which private medical centre to visit:
- Does the private hospital specialise in the treatment that you require?
- What are the levels of satisfaction reported by the hospital’s patients (via feedback and surveys)?
- Does the hospital provide you with the necessary information that you need?
- What quality and accreditation standards (if any) does the hospital meet?
