The Whiteley Clinic has made its reputation introducing cutting edge technologies
and treatments to the UK, researching and auditing them to
ensure our patients get the best and most effective
treatments.
It is with great pride
that we offer our patients the very best that is available
in the UK.
Our results speak for
themselves - our success in doing so can be seen by our:
The proof of our success
is in our results - not one patient in 10 years has had to
come back to have another operation on the veins that we
have operated on previously.
However, because our
techniques are relatively new, some of our operations are
considered non-standard by some health insurers.
Consequently the following do not cover private medical
treatment at The Whiteley Clinic:
|
-
AXA PPP |
|
-
Simply Health
from Aug 2009 |
|
-
CIGNA |
Should you be insured
with any of the above, then they will not pay for the
treatment of veins at The Whiteley Clinic.
We are hopeful that in
the future, we will be able to work with them to make sure
that any patients covered by these insurers will be able
to have their treatment costs paid.
We keep our charges very
competitive compared with anyone offering the same
standard of treatment.
At The Whiteley Clinic,
our prices include:
- Surgeons fees
- Anaesthetic fees
- Hospital fees
If you are not aware of
this, then comparing our all inclusive fee with fees
quoted by surgeon (who quote surgical fees only) or
hospital (who often quote hospital fees and not
professional fees for the surgeon and the anaesthetic)
then we can appear expensive.
In addition, we do not
charge any extra for recurrent varicose veins over primary
varicose veins - we just charge for the procedures that
are done.
As such, we have been
very surprised that some
insurance companies have queried our costs and our
treatments.
We are always happy to
explain our treatments and treatments plans, to go through
our charges and results, to anyone who is interested.
Until such time we will
continue providing the same excellence we have always
done, will continue our research and development making
sure our patients have the very best diagnosis and
treatment that is available, for the best price that we
are able to provide, and will leave the door open to have
discussions with all and any insurer at any time that they
wish.
