Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Health Insurance Sector: Discussion
12:35 pm
Mr. John Armstrong:
The only other issue not addressed was Senator Burke's question regarding day care procedures. We routinely consider what benefits are appropriate for an inpatient or day patient setting, and we routinely move people from inpatient to day settings. Well over 70% of our claims by volume are from day patient settings. On occasion the move may not be quick enough but in general terms we have a process in place to review claims and ensure they are in the appropriate setting.
