Three Ways to Be Treated at Renacres
- Self-pay. You book with a consultant and pay a fixed price for your procedure, usually within weeks. Ramsay asks self-pay patients to pay in full before admission, and finance is available.
- Health insurance. The insurer pays, as long as Renacres is on your policy’s hospital list and you get pre-authorisation before booking.
- NHS referral. Renacres treats NHS patients. For procedures it provides, your GP can often refer you there through the NHS e-Referral Service, free of charge. You join the NHS waiting list for Renacres, so it is free but not usually fast. See how to jump the NHS waiting list.
