Inpatient in 2 different hospitals

offalyred

Hi,
My wife has already stayed 20 days in one public hospital within the last 12 months and paid the €750 for the 1st 10 days. She is now going be be an inpatient in another public hospital. Will she be charged 75 euro per night again as it is a different hospital? Can't find anything on this anywhere else. Thanks in advance.

Does it not go by calendar year?

So e.g. if she stayed 10 nights last year up to Dec. and 2 so far this year, then she will have to pay for 8 nights this year, you pay for a maximum of ten nights per year.

My understanding is that it is not based on the calender year
"The statutory charge for overnight and day in-patient services is €75 per day up to a maximum of €750 in any 12 consecutive months"

My problem is that it is 2 different hospitals

Ah right.

Well in that case why not bring proof that you have previously paid for the ten nights?

Am going to ask when she is admitted next week, but was wondering what the position was, and what we face, before we go in.

January

Ring Admissions of the hospital she is being admitted to and discuss it with them.
