Insured Patients
If you have private medical insurance, you should contact your insurance company prior to your appointment in order to obtain a pre-authorisation code. Please note that, although we will invoice the insurance company directly on your behalf, the ultimate responsibility for payment lies with you and you will therefore be responsible for any shortfall should your insurance company fail to cover the full amount. Please note that prior to all subsequent investigations and consultations you will need to contact your insurance company for confirmation of your entitlement to benefit. If you do not have private medical insurance you will be responsible for all costs incurred as a self-funding patient. Our price list is available on request and is on display in our waiting area.
Please note that should you need to cancel your appointment, 24 hours’ notice must be given or you will incur the full consultation fee.
Self-Funding Patients
We request that self funding patients settle all accounts on the day of consultation. We have credit card facilities. Patients who obtain letters of guarantee are requested to leave a copy with the PA. Quotations of estimated costs can be given on request.
Repeat prescriptions
We are happy to issue repeat prescriptions for our patients’ usual cardiac medication. However, dangerous errors can occur when requests are made by telephone and fax, so all requests must be made in writing.
