To talk to a specialist on medical insurance contact +254752055688.

For all in-patient and day-case treatment costs:

  • it must be medically essential for you to occupy a hospital bed to receive the treatment
  • your treatment must be provided, or overseen, by a consultant
  • we pay for accommodation in a room that is no more expensive than the hospital’s standard single room with a private bathroom. This means that we will not pay the extra costs of a deluxe, executive or VIP suite etc.
  • if the cost of treatment is linked to the type of room, we pay the cost of treatment at the rate which would be charged if you occupied a standard single room with a private bathroom in the hospital where you have your treatment must be recognised
