The Orwell Private Patient Unit is recognised by, and has direct settlement agreements with, all major health insurance companies. The inclusion of treatments within each member’s policy will be checked by Orwell Private Cardiothoracic Unit staff to ensure adequate cover, prior to booking.

Self-Pay Patients

Payment will be accepted by cheque in advance, cash or credit card. For most surgical procedures, the unit offers Fixed Cost Care package prices. Individual prices are confirmed by the hospital following your patient’s initial consultation, in advance of admission.

You could be surprised at how little it can cost.
