  • Our team will assist you in understanding which services are covered in your insurance plan and what portion of the fees you may need to pay.

Choosing Between Self-Pay and Private Insurance

For patients seeking quick access to appointments and transparent pricing, self-pay is a convenient choice. You can schedule consultations and any recommended tests immediately, without waiting for insurance approval. On the other hand, private health insurance helps manage costs by covering part or all of the fees for consultations, tests, and treatments, making care more affordable and hassle-free. 

Faqs

Yes, our team informs you about your consultation fee and gives a clear estimate for any diagnostic tests or treatments before your appointment. 

If you are self-paying, you will pay for your appointment in advance, and our team will guide you through the process. For private insurance, you will provide a pre-authorization code to book your appointment. 

The National Heart Clinic accepts most major UK private health insurers, including Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, and VitalityHealth. Our team can also help confirm your coverage if needed. 

Private health insurance often covers initial and follow-up consultations, diagnostic tests, scans, and certain outpatient procedures. Coverage varies by policy, so it is important to check with your insurer which services, consultants, or clinics are included in your plan.
