Patient Information

Paying for treatment

Insured patients

If you are privately insured, a medical report will be sent to your Insurance Company asking for cover and once cover has been agreed, your admission date and time will be confirmed. If your Insurance Company is an overseas one and is not recognised by this Hospital you will be asked to deposit the full amount of the procedure no later than 7 days prior to admission and then claim the expenses back after treatment. Of course we will ensure that all the necessary forms you provide us with are completed.

Self-pay patients

If you are funding your own treatment you will be asked to deposit the full amount of the procedure 7 days prior to admission. Payment methods are either personal cheque, cash, British bankers draft, or by bank transfer.

NHS patients

As the Bupa Cromwell Gamma Knife Centre is now NHS accredited your Doctor will only need to refer you to one of our Gamma Knife Consultants. Following that consultation we will then apply to your area Health Authority for funding. If funding is approved you may go ahead with your treatment here at this Centre.
