Inpatient Admission
Should you require an inpatient admission to Blackrock Clinic then you will be presented with one of the following scenarios:
1. Inpatient Procedure – ie. A procedure that requires you to remain in hospital for at least 1 night.
The consultant will issue you with a procedure code (this is a procedure reference). We have Inpatient contracts which differ with each Irish health insurer.
The consultant’s secretary will take details of your finance / insurance status and ask you to call 01 2064538 or 01 2064421, where we will advise:
Insured Patients
With your policy details, we can tell you whether you are:
- Fully covered (nothing to pay);
- Partially covered (with a shortfall / shortfall & co-payment): We may tell you that Blackrock Clinic will waive the shortfall & co-payment. If we are not able to do that, we will tell you the exact amount due.
- Not covered – self pay: Please see below.
Please Note: If your policy has an EXCESS, this is a one off payment per claim which will always be asked for on admission.
Self Pay Patients
There will be 2 parts to the price:
- Professional Fees – These are for the surgeon and anaesthetist. These will be given to you by the secretary.
- Hospital Fee – This is Blackrock Clinic’s charge. We will advise you what this will be.
Self Pay Please Note: Should your surgeon employ pathology or radiology services during your procedure, you will later receive an invoice for reporting fees relating to this. This will be issued by a company called Hospital Accounting Services.
Non – Irish insurance
Some insurers will issue a “Guarantee of Payment” (GOP) to the hospital in advance of your admission. This may cover all costs, or only the Hospital fee. Please consult your insurer regarding this.
Without a GOP:
