When you apply for private medical insurance you will be given a list of hospitals which you can use - normally grading them with "A, B or C" levels - with 'A' grades being the best and most expensive.
Some insurers will use their own, or preferred hospitals, for example BUPA have their own hospitals. You may have a choice of up to 180 hospitals nationwide.
Before signing up, it's imperative that you make sure that you have access to a hospital close by, and also to check that it has a good reputation.
