CMA LETTER

Ms Ileana Anderco 
MCh FRCS
Consultant ENT Surgeon
Private and confidential
Date

Patient name
Address

Dear patient,

Outpatient Appointment

Thank you for choosing to see me at Spire Fylde Coast Hospital for your outpatient consultation. This letter sets out some important information that I am required by law to provide to you. This is for your information only and is not a bill. As this includes information about my charges, if you do not have private medical insurance but someone else will be paying your bill, you may wish to pass a copy of this letter to them. Please note that even if someone else is paying your bill or you have private medical insurance, you are responsible for paying any charges which they do not pay.

Private Medical Insurance

If you have private medical insurance, please contact your insurer before your consultation, to check the terms of your policy, particularly the level and type of outpatient cover you have, including any reimbursement limits on individual consultation fees. Note that most insurers require a preauthorisation before medical services can be provided.

I am recognised by the following private medical insurers:

  • BUPA

  • WPA

  • Freedom

  • Aviva

  • General and Medical

  • Axa

  • Vitality

  • Allianz

Please note you are responsible for my and any other fees not covered by your insurer.

Consultation fee

My fee for an initial consultation will not exceed £250 and my fee for any follow-up consultation will not exceed £150. These estimates are correct as at the date of this letter.

During or following the consultation you may need certain procedures (endoscopy for eg.) or tests (such as hearing tests or imaging, for example an X-ray, MRI or CT scan) to help me diagnose your condition.

If there are any fees which I will charge in relation to any of the procedures I advise that you have, I will let you know what those will be.

If the test is undertaken by the clinic or hospital, and not by me, the fees for those tests will be determined by the hospital and charged to you, or your private medical insurer, separately.

Quality information

You can compare independent information about the quality of private treatment offered at the hospital and other private healthcare providers from the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) website: www.phin.org.uk

Financial Interests

I am legally obliged to tell you if I have any financial interest in the hospital, clinic or any equipment there. I can confirm I do not have any such financial interests.

 

I look forward to welcoming you to my clinic.

​

Yours sincerely,
Ms Ileana Anderco
ENT Consultant
