Public Inpatients and Public Daycase Patients

Public inpatients and public daycase patients are liable for a statutory inpatient charge (80 euro) per part of a day / night. This is payable to a maximum of 10 nights within 12 consecutive months.  

The statutory inpatient charge (as above) must be paid to the Patient Accounts Department on the day of admission.  Please go to the Patient Accounts Department directly after providing your details to the Admissions Department.  Please note that this charge may be refunded in the event of discharge without treatment.

If you are the holder of a valid medical card, you are exempt from this charge.

Private Inpatients and Private Daycase Patients

Private patients are liable for a private charge as well as any consultant charges for radiology, pathology and anaesthetics.

The hospital operates a direct payments scheme with Vhi Healthcare, Laya Healthcare, Irish Life Health, GloHealth, ESB Medical Provident Fund, St. Paul's Garda Medical Aid Society and Prison Officers' Medical Aid Society (POMAS).

All insurance forms must be completed on or during admission.

We recommend that patients check with their insurance company before admission to the hospital to ensure they are adequately covered for their treatment.  Please inform the Bed Management Unit with any issues +353 (0)21 493 5292.

All patients booked privately from the consultants private rooms must be admitted as private patients on the day of admission. Patients who don't have money to pay for the visit or have a bad credit history may apply for medical loans for bad credit here.

It is important to note that patients are responsible for the payment of hospital charges in the event of the failure of their insurance company to pay in full or part.
