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.
