Hospital Care
There are several reasons you may be admitted to
a hospital, including:
- A planned admission, for example, for
non-emergency surgery;
- An emergency admission; or
- Pregnancy/maternity.
As described here, a planned admission always
requires advance approval, and an emergency admission
requires approval within 48 hours after the admission.
A maternity admission requires approval only if the stay
exceeds 48 hours (96 hours in the case of a cesarean
section).
