Self-paying simply means that you are paying for your healthcare yourself, instead of using health insurance or accessing it via the NHS.
If you take out a medical loan to fund your care, this also counts as self-paying.
Many people choose to go private so that they can access care faster. We provide same-day and next-day consultations*, as well as diagnostics and procedures when you need them.
Self-paying also provides the freedom to choose your own consultant (although our Self-Pay team would be happy to recommend a specialist if you need help).
You don’t need a GP referral if you’re self-paying, making it even faster to book your first appointment – simply call our Self-Pay team and we’ll do the rest.
Most importantly, a faster and more efficient route to care means you can get back to feeling your best sooner.
*Subject to availability.
We’re one of London’s most well-known private hospitals, providing exceptional care alongside the best UK specialists and surgeons. Our state-of-the-art hospital is home to dedicated centres for cancer, heart, liver, and renal care. With us, you’ll gain access to the very latest treatments, facilities, and medical techniques, including robotic and minimally invasive surgery.
We understand that self-paying for your care might feel daunting – that’s why, when you call us, you’ll be greeted by a member of our dedicated Self-Pay team. They’ll be able to explain more about how self-pay works, answer any questions you might have, and provide you with personalised advice and support.
They’ll also be happy to walk you through the variety of flexible payment options we have. This includes hospital-only and fixed-price packages, pay-as-you go, and more.
At this stage, we will be able to give you a guide price for the treatment you need. Please be aware this may change and the final price will be given to you after you have your initial appointment with your consultant.
We will be able to give you the consultation fee at this point as well.
You can phone us on +44 (0)20 7244 4886 or email us at cromwellselfpayteam@cromwellhospital.com.
When you attend your initial appointment, your consultant will discuss with you your health history and your treatment options.
They will also book any diagnostic tests you may need prior to your surgery or treatment. This could include X–rays, MRI scans, and blood tests.
After you’ve seen your consultant and undergone any required diagnostics tests, we can then confirm the price for your treatment.
If you have further questions, we will be on-hand to answer these and support you in making an informed decision.
If you would like to go ahead with the treatment, we can then book you in at a date and time most convenient for you. We’ll continue to be available to answer questions and support you as best as we can throughout.
We will contact you to take the payment for your treatment five days before you come into the hospital.
