UK Fee schedule (from 1st April 2013 and subject to revision) New appointment: £250 Follow up appointment: £150 Emergency out of hours consultation (in patient) £300 Payment by Credit card, cash or cheque drawn on UK banks are accepted We have arrangements with most UK based Insurers and will directly invoice insurance companies if membership details and authorization number are provided at time of consultation. Embassy sponsored patients must provide a letter of guarantee as without this we are not permitted to see patients. Tests and X-rays are charged separately by the hospital Fees and Shortfalls. A shortfall is when your Insurer does not fully meet the fee charged by the Consultant and you are liable for the difference. For Surgery we usually provide you with both an operation code and an estimate so you can check with your Insurance Company. Fees will depend on complexity and Insurance schedules do not always take this into account. Simple UK cases are usually charged within most Insurance Company Schedules but patients insured with Pru Health and Simply Health are particularly advised to check there will be no shortfall. Please note that Anaesthetists fees for surgery are charged separately and will be invoiced separately by the Anaesthetist. Due to unchanging levels of reimbursement by Insurance Companies in many cases there will be a shortfall even for major British Insurers. We will endeavor to obtain an estimate on your behalf prior to surgery.
