Would I be entitled for the £250.00 per night cash benefit? - Examples
1. I have recently spent a couple of nights in an NHS hospital following an emergency admission.
NO - The NHS cash benefit is not payable following emergency admissions.
2. I had my surgery through the NHS but I didn’t stay overnight.
NO - The cash benefit is only payable for 1 night stay or longer.
3. I recently had an overnight stay in a NHS hospital following orthodontic surgery.
NO - If your NHS stay is due to a procedure the PHS would not cover privately, the cash benefit would not be payable.
4. I stayed in an NHS Hospital for 2 months following an operation, which would have been covered privately.
The £250.00 is payable up to a maximum of 21 nights per financial year.
