What to Ask and Check
- 1
A higher quote may include things that a lower one leaves out. Ask for an itemised quote and compare what each includes.
- 2
Ask who will treat you and what their experience is with this procedure.
- 3
Ask which room type, length of stay, anaesthesia, implants or lenses, and follow-up visits the quote covers.
- 4
Ask how the price changes if you need to stay longer or need more treatment than planned.
- 5
Ask your insurer whether the hospital is in your network and what you would pay yourself.
- 6
A hospital lists its accreditations on its own website, and the accrediting body lists the hospitals it has accredited: check both.
Insurance
Whether insurance pays depends on your plan. Ask your insurer what your plan covers and what you would pay before you book.
