Hospitals – Hospitals treat patients with acute and serious health problems and administer surgeries. Private hospitals can be very expensive. Sometimes if you cannot prove evidence of insurance or means of payment you may be denied treatment. Most major insurance schemes cover a lot but not all of your hospital costs. In addition to site costs you must pay separately for treatment by your specialist, emergency site fees and ambulance services.
