Here you will find information about our fees depending on whether you have private medical insurance or you are paying for your treatment yourself. We use an external billings company, Civica, who handles our billings and invoicing
Outpatient appointments and procedures:
You will need to inform your insurance company to check that you are covered for the appointment before you attend. Please provide The ENT Clinic with your policy details prior to your appointment. You will need to obtain a pre-authorisation number from your insurer. Please check whether any top up fee is payable by you, particularly if your insurer does not cover our full fee.
For any clinic appointment and procedure that may be necessary, Paul Kirkland charges in line with the accepted codes and fees set up by the individual private medical insurance companies.
The insurer fees vary, so please contact your insurance provider for further information.
Outpatient procedures include:
Civica will invoice your insurance company direct. If there is an excess or shortfall payable by you, Civica will issue you with a new invoice with the outstanding amount payable.
If you require an operation, you will need to check with your provider that they will cover the procedure and if there is any shortfall payable by you.

Civica will send you an invoice after your appointment which you will be required to settle within the set 30 day period. Payment can be made via bank transfer or over the phone with further information on the invoice. We do not accept cheques. If you have any queries about your bill, please contact Civica on 01494 763999.
Paul Kirkland does not charge a consultant fee for procedures performed within an outpatient appointment. Please note a procedure fee will still be charged to you separately by your chosen hospital for any test or procedure performed within an outpatient appointment. You will need to check with the hospital for up to date information on pricing for additional tests, procedures or treatment.
If you do require any additional procedures during your consultation, Paul will discuss this with you in advance so you are aware of any additional costs.
If you require an operation as a self pay patient, your chosen hospital will provide an inclusive fee package which will include the hospital, surgeon and anaesthetist costs. The fee will need to be paid in advance of the operation.
