The NHS Hospital Cash Benefit
If you have chosen an NHS hospital admission instead of using your private health plan for treatment, you may be able to get cash back.
The NHS hospital cash benefit is only available for treatment that would have been eligible under your plan. If you are admitted to hospital in an emergency, no benefit will be payable for any part of the admission.
Different rules apply to claims related to cancer or caesarean sections. If you have the Childbirth by Caesarean Section benefit, you can claim the NHS hospital cash benefit for any caesarean section carried out as a non-paying NHS patient, subject to the applicable benefit limits. For treatment related to cancer care, more information can be found by selecting the relevant option below.
You may need to ask your consultant at the hospital to complete some of your paperwork, so please remember to ask for the relevant paperwork before you are discharged from hospital - this will most often be your discharge certificate.
How do I claim?
For more information on making a claim, please choose whether you want to claim for treatment that is not related to cancer care, or for cancer treatment.
