Why the Hospital Network Is the Most Important Criterion
⏱ 2 min read
In complementary health insurance, two policies can carry the same premium while one includes the hospital you actually use and the other does not. That is why the network list comes before price.
How to check the list
Write down the hospitals you use or would use, and ask your agency to confirm in writing that they are in the policy network. Verbal confirmation provides no basis if the list later changes.
If the list changes mid-year
Insurers can update hospital agreements during the policy year. If you depend on a single hospital, check whether alternatives exist nearby. Around Maslak, having at least two contracted facilities close to home and office is a practical safeguard.
Speciality-level differences
Some agreements cover only certain specialities. “The hospital is contracted” does not always mean your speciality is — confirm specifically for maternity, oncology and cardiology.
Frequently asked questions
What if my hospital leaves the network?
The policy stays valid but the difference fee is no longer covered at that facility, which is why nearby alternatives matter.
Where can I see the network list?
From the insurer’s current list. Your agency can obtain written confirmation for the hospital and speciality you need.
