in the Clinic and who pay their own bill.

before your surgical admission to the Clinic
are not included in this scheme.

How does
Fixed Price Surgery work?
When you know you
need surgery, you may ask your Consultant surgeon
if you can be admitted to the Clinic under his
care, for Fixed Price Surgery.
If the surgical procedure you
require is listed in our schedule and your Consultant
is a member of the Clinic medical staff he/she
will arrange your admission.
Payment must be made in full
by cheque/banker’s draft/cash, one week
prior to admission.
What are
the Conditions?
The Clinic guarantees
that no additional fees or charges will be incurred
by any patient who may require and extended
stay in Clinic of up to six weeks. This applies
only in the case of complication arising from
the original medical condition leading to admission.
Should complication arise which
are not attributable to the original condition
the Clinic reserves the right to make appropriate
charges at normal rates.
The Clinic also reserves the
right to refuse admission under a fixed price
scheme if any pre-operative conditions are known
to exist which may give rise to complications.
The guarantee set out above does
not apply once the patient has been discharged
from Clinic unless further admission id required
on an emergency basis and is directly attributable
to the fixed price surgery operation.
