Fee Guidelines

Mr Toft offers surgery to those patients covered by health insurance and also to self-funding patients.

PATIENTS COVERED BY HEALTH INSURANCE

Mr Toft is registered with all the major insurance companies (AXA-PPP, BUPA, CIGNA, CS Healthcare, Medisure, Norwich Union, Standard Life, WPA, and others) and is available to treat insured patients. Mr Toft's consultation fees, surgical fees and hospital fees are normally covered by most major insurance companies. He will provide the CCSD insurance procedure codes in the written estimate of costs. These codes allow the patient to check with the insurance company that they are covered for a particular procedure. Patients are advised to contact their insurer to check that they have authorisation before proceeding to surgery. In some cases there may be a shortfall between the cost of surgery and the value of remuneration by the insurance companies; this shortfall is payable by the patient.

SELF-FUNDING PATIENTS

Mr Toft regularly treats self-funding patients mainly for cosmetic surgery. In addition, he is also treats patients who wish to have surgery privately but are not insured. After your first consultation you will be given a written estimate of the costs of your surgery, which include the surgical fee, the anaesthetist's fee, and the hospital fee. Further pre-operative visits prior to surgery are free. The surgical fee includes follow-up appointments after surgery for removal of sutures and clinical review.
