Private medical insurance

LOROS Hospice is proud that all the care we provide is free of charge. There is however, a way you may be able to help us in providing that care. Many health insurers are willing to recognise services provided to their members in the form of a donation to the Hospice.

How can I help this?

Many people today have private health insurance that they have taken out for themselves or that an employer has, on their behalf. Many health insurers are willing to recognise services provided to their members in the form of a donation to the Hospice.

If you have insurance, we can write to your insurer asking for such a donation which will assist in funding future care here at LOROS at no cost to you and not affecting any claim you wish to make. Whether you are attending Day Therapy, receiving visits from a LOROS Clinical Nurse Specialists’, or staying with us as an inpatient, we may be able to request a donation from your insurance company. Of course, there is absolutely no obligation for you to provide us with this information, and will have no impact on the care you receive from the hospice.

What do I need to do?

If you have private health insurance and a policy whereby they will donate for Hospice care, then please let us know by filling in your details here.

What happens next?

We will write to your insurer asking for a donation. You need do nothing more. Your preferred person will receive a thank you letter once the donation has been processed. Their contact details will be kept and used to keep them updated with our news activities, and appeals, by post. We will not share their personal data with anyone other than mailing companies working on our behalf. If they do not wish to be contacted in this way, the thank you letter will let them know how to opt out.

How much will LOROS receive?

This depends on the policy you have and who your insurer is as some insurers specifically exclude hospice care.
