If you hold Silver or Gold hospital cover that includes “Heart and vascular system”, coronary procedures in a private hospital are typically included — subject to waiting periods, excesses, and your specific policy.
What is usually covered
- Hospital theatre and accommodation
- Cardiac catheterisation laboratory use
- Many specialist and anaesthetic fees (often via known-gap or no-gap schemes)
What to clarify early
- Has your waiting period been served?
- What is your excess?
- Does your fund participate in known-gap arrangements with your specialists?
- Are there prosthesis or device-related extras?
Why private care matters for complex PCI
Complex and CTO procedures benefit from operator experience and advanced technology. Private pathways let you choose your interventional cardiologist, avoid lengthy public queues, and plan timing around work and family.
Our team routinely helps patients and funds navigate these questions before a booking is confirmed.
