Any patient who consults or is treated by a consultant in the private medical sector will be personally responsible for the payment of all their consultant’s fees and a financial contract exists between them. In many instances patients have private medical insurance that will fully reimburse them for their medical fees.
Insured Patients
If you are using private healthcare insurance, most insurance companies require a referral letter from your GP to me before you attend your first appointment with me. Alternatively, your insurance company may have recommended me to you as an experienced specialist particularly suited to your healthcare needs. You'll need to bring along details of your insurance company, your policy number and your claim or pre-authorisation number with you to the appointment.
Always enquire with your insurance company as to whether there are any restrictions on your policy cover, such as a “six week” clause for some AXA PPP policies. Please note that insurance companies do not necessarily reimburse you for all fees. Dr Pitcher’s fees for insured patients are in line with insurance companies’ Benefit Limits but please note that there are often exclusions within these policies (i.e. specific medical conditions, outpatient allowances or payment by the patient of an initial excess amount). Consequently, there may be shortfalls in the insurance reimbursement that the patient receives for the consultant’s fees. In the event that there is a shortfall, the patient is personally liable to the consultant for his/her fees in full and should be settled with Dr Pitcher and his medical billing service (Trust Health Ltd) directly, as he works independently and is not employed or paid by the private hospital or insurance companies.
