Paying
for your own treatment
It’s never been easier to access the high
quality of care and treatment available at a BMI hospital. If you
choose to pay for your own treatment our “Option” packages
provide an easy route to affordable fixed price surgery. You can
also apply for your own personal payment card, the BMI
Card.
Growing numbers of people are opting to pay for their own treatment
because it is fast, affordable and convenient. From a consultation
or scan, through to diagnostic investigations, physiotherapy, minor
or complex surgery, each can be paid for directly by you.
If you need surgery our Option packages offer you the peace of mind
of knowing, in advance, exactly how much your treatment will cost.
After seeing your consultant and having had your personal needs
identified, you will be given an inclusive, fixed price quotation.
This will detail exactly what is, and isn’t, included in the
price.

Accessing self pay treatment
With the exception of health screening, physiotherapy and some cosmetic
surgery, you will need a GP referral letter to access treatment
at a BMI hospital. Some BMI hospitals offer a private GP service
if you require a second opinion, or if you need faster access to
a GP.
GP’s normally provide good independent advice on which consultant
to choose, but your local hospital can advise you further of the
options available to you. Your local hospital can also provide estimates
of pricing for the treatment you require. Quotations can only be
given once a consultation has taken place and your individual treatment
needs have been identified. We will then provide you a written quotation
with details of what is and what is not included in the price.
If you know now what treatment you require you can complete the
estimate form here
or call your local BMI hospital.

Payment methods
Treatment in a BMI hospital offers you exceptional value for money.
Our ongoing, independent survey shows that over 91% of our self-pay
patients say that we meet or exceed their expectations in terms
of value for money.
Payment can be made by credit card, debit card, BMI Card*, bankers
draft, Building Society cheque or personal cheque. Many hospitals
also accept cash payments. We ask you to pay for your Option package
on or before admission. In the case of personal cheques we need
to receive your payment at least five working days before your admission
to hospital.
*The BMI Card, our own payment card, offers up to six months interest
free credit for health care purchases, provided you are a cardholder
before treatment commences. You normally need to allow three weeks
before admission to process your application.
