Do you honour this health insurance? #1 (permalink) Sun Jun 29, 2008 16:46 pm   Do you honour this health insurance?
 

Hi,

If I went to a clinic and I wanted to know whether the health insurance that I have is valid to use, can I use the above sentence?

Many thanks,
Cantik

Hi si,

'Do you accept my health insurance card?' is what I'd expect in this situation. You could also point at your card and say 'Am I covered?'

All the best,

Ralf

I like your version better, but if I want to use the verb "honour" here, can it only be used in passive form?

The health insurance is honoured here.
