Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 March 2014
995. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health if the Health Service Executive refused to implement a common waiver form agreed by all health insurers for patients in public hospitals; if so the reason for the HSE’s objections; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12944/14]
View answerThe HSE and all health insurers met last week to put a process in place to agree a form to validate treatment as a private patient in a public hospital. This meeting was facilitated by Pat McLoughlin as part of his ongoing review of private health insurance costs, under the auspices of the Consultative Forum on Health Insurance. The HSE and insurers will continue to work together to deal with a range of claims processing issues.
