Self-pay patients
You do not have to be insured to come to Highgate Hospital, in fact many of our patients pay for their own treatment.
As an outpatient
Consultation fees will be invoiced separately to tests and treatment. The hospital charge covers any tests, scans, drugs, treatment or nursing care undertaken in the consulting room. Please be advised that if you require any outpatient procedures or treatment, you may be charged separately by both the hospital and your consultant for the same procedure. Where possible you will be asked to pay the hospital charge for any tests, scans or treatment on the day by credit/debit card, cheque or cash. The consultant’s fee will need to be paid for by cheque, either on the day or upon receipt of an invoice.
As an inpatient
We believe it is important for you to know the exact costs of your chosen surgery before you make any decisions, so wherever possible we offer all-inclusive package prices. Package prices generally include all nursing and medical care, your hospital stay and your consultant's fee. The only costs not included are tests and consultations before/after your stay, costs associated with unrelated medical conditions, additional treatment or overnight stays, units of blood and personal costs such as telephone calls.
Where it is not possible to offer a fixed package price, you will be invoiced separately by both the hospital and your consultant. Because we do not employ consultants (they practice in a self-employed capacity) we cannot quote for their fees but can supply the contact details of their private secretary so that you can check this. You will be asked to pay your hospital bill prior to or on admission by credit/debit card, cheque or cash.
