Hospitalization

Hospitalization in approved medical establishment (subject to Rules VIII.4 and VIII.8 of the Internal Rules) is extended to include care provided by the staff of the establishment and other services normally provided by the establishment.

We strongly recommend all members to consider using medical establishments with whom the UNSMIS has concluded an agreement. In doing so you can reduce YOUR portion of expenses, ensure cost savings to the plan and thus to your monthly contributions and in some cases make use of our Direct Payment facility, i.e. you need not advance any money.
