INSURANCE PARTNERS & FEES
Fee Struture
As a private patient, you can choose to pay either via your private medical insurance or personally. We are registered with all major UK private medical insurance companies; please see a full list below. It would be advisable to speak to your insurer and obtain a pre-authorisation code prior to your visit.
Alternatively, you can fund the visit personally. Mr Pringle’s fees for consultations are:
£250 for an Initial Consultation - approximately 45 minutes
£200 for a Follow-up Consultation - approximately 30 minutes
Clinic Fees
Following your consultation, you may need certain tests (such as blood tests, imaging or for example eye tests and eye scans) to help diagnose your condition. If the test is undertaken by the clinic or hospital, and not by Mr Pringle, the fees for those tests will be determined by the clinic or hospital and charged to you, or your private medical insurer, separately.
Private medical insurance
If you have private medical insurance, please contact your insurer before your consultation, to check the terms of your policy, particularly the level and type of outpatient cover you have, including any reimbursement limits on individual consultation fees. Please note, you are responsible for any fees not covered by your insurer.
