Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Health Insurance Sector: Discussion

12:15 pm

Mr. Declan Moran:

It can be. The average submission time in many public hospitals is 180 days and we are aware of three or four of these hospitals which have introduced a new system. They have not quite halved their submission times but they have certainly taken one third off them. There is no doubt a quicker process will get it in faster. Our turnaround does not depend on whether claims are from a public or private hospital, we just pay it when it is valid.
