This means you get 100% of the cost of private and public hospital for overnight and same day stays as well as intensive care, theatres and ward fees. Examples of the services that IMAN covers ranges from accidents, joint replacements, back surgery and shoulder surgery. Across all policies there are waiting periods (some of which are standard across the private health insurance sector) such as pregnancy which is 12 months. There is no waiting list for ambulance cover.
