Everything you need to know about hospitalisation insurance
A hospitalisation insurance policy is an extra insurance that you take in addition to your membership of a health insurance fund. The health insurance fund will reimburse some of the costs of your hospitalisation. But not all of them. Hospitalisation insurance ensures that those other expenses are also covered.
Note: Not all hospitalisations are covered by the health insurance fund. If the admission is not covered by mandatory health insurance, you will also not get reimbursement through your hospitalisation insurance.
