These relate to the fees charged by specialists. Currently, there’s no governing body to control how much specialists are able to charge for private treatment in the UK. Because of this, all major private healthcare providers have their own schedule of fees, which lays out the amount they deem reasonable to charge for procedures based on complexity and time. At Healix, you have an open specialist network – you’ll never be told who you can and can’t see, however if you choose to see a specialist who bills over the reasonable and customary fees, you may have to pay a shortfall. Healix will tell you about this in advance wherever possible, and you also have the option of choosing consultants, where available, who bill within the Healix fee schedule if you’d prefer not to pay anything extra.
