Room Options at Mount Sinai Hospital

Learn more about room options.

We offer the same level of care, regardless of the type of room you are in. However, some patients prefer a private or semi-private room for their comfort, recovery or overall experience.

We will do our best to place you in the type of room you request. However, room assignments are based on availability and medical necessity. You will not be charged for a room you request but are not placed in. 

If you have not been placed in the type of room you requested, please let your care team know.

Labour and delivery rooms

Insurance for private and semi-private rooms

Insurance for private and semi-private rooms

Most extended health insurance plans cover all or part of private or semi-private room charges.

Please check with your insurance provider for details. It is your responsibility to confirm your insurance coverage. Our team is unable to contact insurance providers for privacy reasons. 

Direct billing

We can bill directly to most major extended health benefit plans. This means that rather than paying upfront for the whole amount and being reimbursed by your insurance company, you pay only the amount you are responsible for. Please confirm with your insurance company (or with us at admission) if we can bill your insurance company directly. Bring your insurance information with you to the hospital.
