Fees
Fees for insured patients
Patients who are insured will need to contact their insurance company to confirm that their policy covers treatments or investigations. Following that they will need to obtain an authorisation number. Most insurance companies will require a referral letter from their GP before they can authorise their initial consultation. If further investigations, such as diagnostic tests or treatment are recommended, the insurer will need to be kept informed throughout.
fees for self funding patients
Although patients may self refer, a GP letter is preferred if possible.
A £75 deposit will be taken at the time of booking which will be deducted from the final payment at the end of the consultation. All charges will need to be settled at the end of the consultation. All major debit/credit cards accepted.

Other information
It is helpful in any consultation to have as much previous information on the patient's previous health as possible. This includes a history of other diseases, and lists of current medications.
Please also inform my secretary as to whether you have had a recent chest x-ray. If you haven't, then a chest X-ray arranged prior to consultation is usually very helpful. We can arrange this for you if necessary. These are performed at Oryon Imaging in Wimpole street, a very short walk from No. 10 Harley Street and can be done on the day of your appointment. The cost is £55, including report.
