Important Information About Insurance Cover

Important Information About Insurance Cover

Before attending your ENT consultation, you should:


• Confirm that your policy covers specialist ENT consultations
• Obtain pre-authorisation if required
• Check whether diagnostic tests are included
• Confirm if you have an excess payable


Insurance policies vary depending on the level of cover. Some policies include an excess, meaning you are responsible for part of the consultation fee. Others may not cover certain investigations.

If additional diagnostic tests are recommended during your appointment, you may wish to confirm with your insurer that these are authorised before proceeding.


Patients remain responsible for any shortfall or non-covered fees not reimbursed by their insurer.

If you are unsure how to obtain authorisation, the clinic team can advise on the information typically required by insurers.
