There are three health
insurance providers and as with mobile phone services, it is not easy
to compare one particular service with another. If you think that one
or more has tried to add or vary a service in a particular plan to
differentiate themselves from a competitor, you are almost certainly
right.
In making a choice between the plans of the three insurers, you
should check the services available in the participating hospitals in your
location and the level of cover that you require. Regarding private
accommodation, there is no guarantee of availability even up to the level of
the Blackrock Clinic. Private accommodation
facilities in public hospitals are very limited.
You
may be paying for a private room in the Blackrock Clinic but as in a
hotel, it's first come, first served.

Authority in February 2008.
