Fees & insurance FAQ

Do I need a GP referral?

Most insurers require a GP referral letter. Self-paying patients do not require a referral.

How do I pay if self-funding?

Payment is settled at the time of consultation by card or bank transfer.

Are diagnostic tests included?

Investigations such as ECG, echocardiogram and Holter monitoring are charged separately. We will provide a clear estimate in advance.

Do I need pre-authorisation from my insurer before my appointment?

If you have private medical insurance, please contact your insurer before your appointment to obtain your pre-authorisation code. Once valid pre-authorisation details have been provided, we can submit invoices directly to your insurer. Please note that insurance policies vary, and any costs not covered by your insurer (including any excess or shortfall) remain the responsibility of the patient. We recommend confirming your level of cover with your insurer before your consultation. If you need any assistance, our team will be happy to help - please get in touch.

Can I self-fund a procedure such as catheter ablation or a pacemaker/ICD procedure?

Yes. Patients can choose to self-fund cardiac procedures, including catheter ablation and pacemaker or ICD procedures. Before proceeding, you will have a consultation to confirm the most appropriate treatment plan and discuss the procedure, expected outcomes, risks and costs. Our team can provide information about self-funded pathways, including hospital arrangements and fees, and will guide you through the process.
