Self Pay/Treatment Sourcing Service

It isn't necessary to have private medical insurance to have private treatment. Increasing numbers of people are choosing to pay rather than waiting for NHS treatment.

For those opting to self pay we are pleased to be able to offer the services of Medical Care Direct a company we have worked with for several years and which is dedicated to assisting individuals through the maze of healthcare provision by identifying choices and offering information in an unbiased and concise way that allows informed decisions on the location and timing of treatment tailored to personal needs.

Treatment Finder Service
This is a unique, specialist service designed to ensure maximum value for money by allowing your funds to stretch as far as possible. You state what is important i.e. price, location, timescale or a particular specialist or treatment. Medical Care Direct then identifies the options available that most closely match your needs. You can then discuss these with your GP and once you have made your choice Medical Care Direct does the rest, arranging out-patient consultations, diagnostic tests, through to in-patient hospital procedures. All costs are identified prior to your treatment using previously negotiated rates with most admissions being arranged on a fixed price basis ensuring no unexpected additional costs.

Hospitals, Specialists, Diagnostics
Medical Care Direct has an extensive database of all private hospitals and NHS Private Patient Units within the UK along with access to over 20,000 consultants in all major specialities. They place thousands of procedures with hundreds of hospitals each year across a range of specialities and treatments ranging from cataract to heart surgery. In addition to in-patient treatment, Medical Care Direct also arranges MRI and CT scans along with X Rays and many other types of out-patient diagnostic tests and treatments e.g. Physiotherapy.

Support All The Way
Experience has shown that people like dealing with people not machines and Medical Care Direct’s telephones are answered personally with no press button options thus aiming to remove the anxiety from an already stressful situation and they work hard to accommodate your needs for treatment with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.

Overseas Treatment
A growing aspect of healthcare in the UK is the expansion of choice and this includes the option to use overseas facilities for treatment. In response to this demand Medical Care Direct has established a number of links with overseas hospitals that can offer highly competitive rates on a wide range of procedures.

Medical Care Direct provides services to both individuals and companies including the Police, Travel Companies, Medico Legal firms, Screening companies, corporate healthcare trusts, the NHS and a variety of other organisations. Hence their individual members benefit from their extensive healthcare knowledge, volume purchasing whilst having the benefit of traditional personal service.
