At The Coombe Hospital, patients can access different levels of care based on their needs:

• Public Clinic: If you are living and working in Ireland and have the PRSI contributions or you have a medical card you can access free maternity and newborn care.
• Semi Private Clinic: The Semi Private Clinic is a fee based option. Most women who choose this clinic use private health insurance to cover costs.
• Private Clinic: There are a number of consultant obstetricians offering services through our Private Clinic. Antenatal care fees vary between consultants.

Hospital Charges and Health Insurance

We operate a direct payment scheme with VHI, Laya Healthcare, Irish Life Health, Garda Medical Aid, ESB, Medical Provident Fund, and Prison Officers Medical Aid. If you are covered by any of these insurers, the relevant insurance forms are signed electronically on your admission to hospital. However, patients may find that their private health insurance does not cover all the costs they incur whilst in hospital, and will be expected to pay any excess in full. If you elect to be treated as a private or semi private patient and do not have private health insurance, please contact the Patient Accounts Department to discuss your options.

The following table outlines the fees for maternity and gynaecology services at the hospital:

All private/semi private ultrasounds must be paid for at the time of your scanning appointment. Fees may then be claimed back from your insurer if they are covered by your policy.
