Insured Patients
If insured, it is essential to receive confirmation, prior to admission, from your insurance company, that your level of cover is adequate to meet the cost of your stay. The Hospital has direct settlement arrangements for Inpatient treatment with most UK based medical insurance companies for pre authorised admissions. However, patients are reminded that they are responsible for their Hospital account, if the Insurer does not pay for all or part of their treatment.
Fixed Price Packages
For self-paying patients, King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes is pleased to offer a comprehensive range of hospital packages. Patients taking advantage of fixed price packages are required to cover the account in full on, or prior to, admission.
Uninsured Patients
Inpatients and Day Case patients paying for their own treatment are requested to pay on admission either the fixed price or a deposit based on their treatment plan and anticipated length of stay.
Outpatients
The Hospital does not offer direct settlement arrangements for Outpatient treatment. Outpatients are requested to settle their accounts on the day of treatment and if insured, claim back from their medical insurance company.
Settlement of the Hospital Account
Payment can be made by cash, cheque, Switch/Maestro and any of the following credit cards: Access, Visa or MasterCard. (We regret we do not accept Diners card).
Professional Fees
Consultant and Anaesthetist fees are a matter of personal arrangement between the patient and the respective Specialists who will forward their account to the patient or the insurance company directly.
