Typically you will be referred for a cardiology specialist opinion by your GP. An appointment will be made by our team of experienced support staff. Your GP will write a referral letter which you will usually bring with you to your appointment.
If you are privately insured you should contact your insurance company for authorisation for the consultation and testing. You may need further authorisation for additional tests so please liaise regularly with your insurance provider. In some instances you will need to pay your own insurance excess, or if you have run out of cover.
We regularly see patients who wish to pay for their own consultation and treatment, or part of their treatment not covered by their insurance policy. Our Business Manager will be able to discuss the costs of assessment and any possible treatment, and our friendly Finance Team are always on hand to help with any queries.
