Consultation Fees
Where appropriate, the consultation fee includes a detailed assessment and discussion of the clinical problem. The consultation fee is payable at the end of the appointment and can be made either by cash or cheque. Subsequent pre-operative consultations, where necessary, are usually included in the initial consultation fee.
Procedure Fees
For many procedures carried out by Mr Hamilton a standard fee is applicable whilst for some combined or more complex procedures, the surgical fee may vary depending on the extent and complexity of the surgery. An accurate estimate of the fee can be made following your consultation.
The estimate of the procedure cost includes the surgical fees, the anaesthetist’s fee (where appropriate), hospital and theatre costs and typically two follow up visits.
Mr Hamilton operates at a number of well-known private hospitals and the hospital fees charged may vary depending on the particular location chosen since some hospitals charge considerably less than others for particular procedures.
Surgical Fees
Surgical fees include inpatient care, surgical treatment and routine postoperative care, including follow up consultations where appropriate.
Anaesthetic Fees
Where the services of a Consultant Anaesthetist are required (e.g. for general anaesthetic procedures), a fee is payable. This fee is usually collected together with the surgical fees though, in some instances, may be collected by the hospital.
Hospital Fees
Hospital fees are charged by the respective establishment and cover room costs, inpatient care, theatre costs and postoperative nursing care. The planned number of nights’ stay will be included in the package cost. From time to time, patients may elect to stay an additional night and an additional fee may be payable. Hospital fees are payable directly to the hospital concerned.
