A planned admission anywhere else is not covered at all. You pay the account.
“This network applies to members on the KeyCare Start Regional Plan. We cover you in full at the agreed rate in your chosen KeyCare Start Regional Network Hospital. If you don't use these hospitals for planned hospital admissions, you must pay these claims yourself. This does not apply in an emergency.”
Read from the scheme’s own list on 2026-08-30. The document states an effective date of 13/07/2026. Networks change. The scheme’s own words: “All network lists can change at any time… to see the latest list before any planned admissions.” Confirm before you are admitted — not on the day.
