Domiciliary hospitalisation is a type of health insurance claim in which the policyholder is covered for the costs of being treated at home rather than in a hospital. In order to make a domiciliary hospitalisation claim, the policyholder must meet certain conditions, which vary depending on the insurer. Generally, the policyholder must be diagnosed with an illness or injury that can be treated at home, and have a doctor who is willing to treat them at home. The policyholder must also usually be able to care for themselves and their own needs while they recover.
