Self-pay

Value for money

Unlike some private hospital groups, Sancta Maria Hospital is operated on a not-for-profit basis, with surplus funds going to fund medical research and educational grants. Without the demands of shareholders, we are able to offer outstanding value for money.

What does Self Pay mean

Self-pay is when you pay for your own private healthcare without using medical insurance. So, you just pay for what you need, as and when you need it. It’s a pay-as-you-go approach to private healthcare.

Consultant’s fees and diagnostics

Our inclusive care packages do not include consultant fees for the initial consultation. These vary quite a lot, but on average they tend to start from around £200. Further information on consultant fees can be found on the Private Healthcare Information Network Private Healthcare Information Network (phin.org.uk). You’ll also have to pay separately for any diagnostics tests done during this initial consultation, for example, if you need an X-ray or blood test. Your consultant will check that you are OK with these prices before booking anything. The fee consultants charge to undertake your procedure may vary between consultants. Check when you make your enquiry about the hospital cost and the surgeon cost of your planned procedure.

*All prices given are guide prices. A guide price is an approximation of the cost of treatment only. The final price may vary according to Consultant fees, prosthesis or drugs used, and any pre-existing medical conditions which may alter your care pathway. Our treatment packages are bespoke, and therefore our private healthcare prices differ from case to case. The final cost of your treatment will only be confirmed after you have seen the consultant specialist, been through the pre-surgery assessment pathway, and then confirmed by the hospital.

When you use self-pay, you’ll get an inclusive care package for the procedure that will also include your aftercare, so you won’t get any nasty surprises down the line – and you can just focus on getting better. These prices are only applicable to patients who are paying for their own treatment. If you want to pay for treatment using your health insurance, the costs will generally be covered by your provider.
