Where patients have private medical insurance (e.g
.
BUPA, PPP,
AVIVA,
VITALITY HEALTH, CIGNA), most oral and maxillofacial surgical problems are covered under the medical insurance.
All surgical procedures are coded e.g. Impacted teeth - OPCS code F0910.
Impacted wisdom teeth (F0910), complicated buried roots (F0950), together with dental procedures e.g. apicectomy/cyst of the jaw (F1810) are also covered under private medical insurance. If in doubt, it is advisable to contact Mr Smith’s secretary - Mrs Sue Harrison - for further advice.
For patients that do not have medical insurance, FIXED COST PACKAGE SURGERY is an option. The fees include:
- Surgery
- Anaesthetic
- Hospital costs
Patients pay the hospital prior to surgery.
Please note: this does not include the initial consultation fee. Jaw radiography is often required and incurs an additional cost.
