Self Pay and Treatment Sourcing
Private Medical Insurance is not a suitable or viable option for everyone. Some people may not wish to commit to a regular outlay, or perhaps because of previous medical history they may find it difficult to get medical cover. However this doesn’t mean that private medical treatment is not an option.
All of the major groups and most of the independent hospitals now offer ’fixed price’ and ’self-pay’ options for procedures with longer than average NHS waiting times. Hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery and varicose veins are typical examples.
Commonly referred to as the Self Pay Market, this sector is seeing steady growth, and in an attempt to encourage custom, many hospitals introduced schemes to assist the purchasers to understand some of the complexities of private healthcare. Unfortunately, in many cases it has only served to confuse with a vast range of terms, condition, prices and options.
Medical Care Direct Limited (MCD) is a specialist part of The Private Health Partnership , and is dedicated to assisting individuals through the maze of healthcare provision by identifying choices, offering information and negotiating costs in an unbiased and concise way that allows informed decisions to be made regarding treatment.
