The difference between "be in hospital" and "be in the hospital" is the same as in example you provided (patient/not patient). "Be at hospital" looks incorrect to me, though "be at the hospital" can be used when referring to a person not being a patient. – Vilmar Jan 08 '15 at 09:37

Your question seems to be more about articles, which is answered here on the site. http://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/44588/usage-of-articles-before-the-noun-hospital – Maulik V Jan 08 '15 at 11:29
