Insured patients
You are responsible for
checking your level of cover and are liable for any costs not covered
by your insurers. You must obtain pre-authorisation from your
insurance company which will advise you of any shortfalls in your
cover and provide you with an authorisation number which should be
given to the Private Patients Office.
Please
ensure that your authorisation is for
treatment at Derby Hospitals.
Self-pay patients
The Private Patients
Office will be happy to provide you with an estimate for your
intended procedure. This will be an approximate price based on the
information received from your consultant prior to treatment.
You will be requested
to pay a deposit for the full, estimated cost before your treatment
starts. Any adjustments will be calculated and an invoice for the
final charges will be sent to you.
Unless otherwise
advised, the estimate charges will be for hospital treatment only, in
which case, the consultant and consultant anaesthetist will send
their invoices separately.
Payment may be made by
cash, credit/debit card, banker’s draft or cheque. Cash can only be
received during office opening hours between 8.30am-4.30pm, Monday to
Friday. Personal cheques can only be accepted provided they are
received at least 12 working days prior to your admission date to
allow time for them to clear.
