Sovereign Health Care cash plan - hospital day case admission benefit

We will pay you at the relevant fixed daily amount up to a maximum of 10 days per benefit claiming year, each time you are treated in a recognised hospital or medical centre (with surgical facilities) where the patient signs an admission form. For the purpose of clarity, day case admission is where you are admitted and discharged on the same day. The amount paid is determined by your level of cover. The claim form must be completed and signed by the hospital or medical centre where you were admitted for treatment.

We will pay you for:

1. An admission to a day case ward or unit for treatment of a medical condition
2. The first 10 occasions in each benefit claiming year

We will not pay you for:

1. Attending hospital as an outpatient or for accident and emergency visits
2. Maternity, geriatric and psychiatric treatments and hospice care
3. Pre-admission appointments
4. Cancelled operations or procedures
5. Day case admission immediately prior to or following an overnight stay in hospital for which a claim may be payable under the hospital in-patient benefit
6. Day case admission for pre-existing conditions in the first 6 months from the date of joining or upgrading a policy
