We recognise most UK health insurers and our consultants are registered care providers for most. Following receipt of a valid authorisation we will handle all the financial aspects of your appointments and treatments direct with your insurer. If you have any queries as to whether your planned appointment or treatment is covered by your insurance you need to speak to your insurer to confirm. In some cases, you may need supporting information from your GP, consultant or ourselves to confirm cover and we will be happy to help.
If you do not have insurance, you may choose to pay for your treatment. In many cases you can self-refer for your first consultation and arrange this at a time that suits you. We will provide you with a quote prior to your clinic visit. If any procedures are needed then we will provide you with an estimate for the procedure.
Please not that the provided prices are only to be used as a guide. The prices do not include the hospital charges which you will be invoiced for separately. To receive a full quote (consultation and hospital charges) for your consultation or treatment please contact our Parkside team who will be more than happy to address you queries.
