INFORMATION FOR SELF PAYING PATIENTS

 

• If you are not covered by a health insurance company then you can pay all fees directly.

 

• All private hospitals will invoice patients separately for equipment used during these procedures.

 

• It is the patients’ responsibility to enquire about these charges and to settle the bill directly with the hospital concerned.

 

• These bills are separate to and not inclusive of the procedure bill submitted to you by your consultant.

 

• This is of particular importance to self paying patients who should take this into account when budgeting for their treatment.

 

• Self-Pay scheme offered by private hospital often offers special package prices for procedures. You will be asked to pay a pre-admission or pre-attendance deposit. Once the funds clear, you will be able to attend your consultation, procedure or in-patient stay.
