FEES & PRICING

Our surgeons are registered with all the major private health insurers. You will need to liaise with your insurance company concerning level of cover. Private hospitals will accept patients who are not insured on a self-pay basis. Details of this can be obtained from the self-pay teams at the Nuffield Hospital (01242 246500) and the Winfield Hospital (01452 331111).

OUTPATIENT FEES

New Patient: £200 to £220
Follow-up: £100 to £120
Steroid injection: £40 to £70

NB: Private hospitals can issue a separate charge for outpatient procedures for drugs, dressings, application of plaster of paris, etc.

INPATIENT PROCEDURES

Fees for surgical procedures are based on a coding system used by all the insurers. (OPCS Code) Most insurers meet our fees in full. Sometimes there are cost share type policies or an excess depending on the type of individual insurance policy. Patients will be informed of the fee for any surgical procedure in writing prior to their operation.

PAYMENT

Most invoices are settled directly by the insurance company. If there is a shortfall or excess this can be paid most easily by BACS transfer (details will be on the invoice) or cheque (payable to the surgeon).

Ask for an authorisation code for a consultation regarding your shoulder or elbow.

A few insurers require a referral letter from you GP. At the GSEC we do not require this to be seen.

Once you have an authorisation code contact our admin team to book your appointment. Either call us at your preferred hospital destination or email us on info@gloucestershireshoulderclinic.com.

Once seen, and a treatment plan agreed with your consultant, you will then need to contact the insurance company again to give them the procedure code, that we will give you at the consultation, to see whether you plan covers your care.

One obtained you can book your surgery in one of our private hospitals and enjoy peace of mind that the care you will receive from GSEC team will be bespoke and suit your needs, to ensure you have the best outcome possible .

Either call us at your preferred hospital destination or email us on info@gloucestershireshoulderclinic.com and we can book you in for your procedure at the next available clinic.
