Consultation Fees
Self Funding Patients
If you are paying for your care yourself the current outpatient consultation fees are approximately:
- Initial consultation: £225
- Follow-up consultation: £150
Please note that there are additional fees charged by the surgeon for necessary diagnostic examinations and procedures performed in clinic, e.g.
– flexible or rigid endoscopic examination of the nose and/or throat (additional £125)
– ear microsuction (additional £100)
– nasal cauterisation (additional £100)
In-clinic treatments may also be arranged e.g grommet insertion under local anaesthetic (£350 incl. consultation fee) or intra-tympanic steroid injection (£350 incl. consultation fee).
Separate fees are charged by the private hospital for the procedures (above) that you undergo during your consultation. These fees are set by the hospital and you will be charged for both the hospital fee and separately the surgeons fee (for the procedure and the consultation) immediately following your consultation (by debit/credit card).
We aim to be completely transparent about the cost of care, and you will be informed in advance if any chargeable procedures are recommended. This will be explained at the time of booking via our private secretaries. If you have any questions about fees, please contact us and a full quote will be provided and explained.
Insured Patients
Both Mrs Lambert and Mr Tan are recognised providers and fee-assured for the major Health Insurance companies.
If you are insured, please check in advance of your consultation that you are covered for the consultation and the possible associated examination procedures e.g nasal endoscopy/microsuction. Please provide us with your insurance policy details and pre-authorisation number. We will invoice your insurer directly, minus any excess which you may be required to pay.
