Which Services Can I Access Privately?
You can choose to receive private treatment for various medical conditions from our specialist consultants or GPs. At LSDC Healthcare, we offer:
• Consultations with specialists in Gastroenterology, Urology, General Practice, and Bariatric Surgery.

Does Going Private Affect My NHS Care?

How Do I Pay for Private Healthcare?
Self-Pay
You can choose to pay directly for your care, giving you faster access to high-quality treatment. Most patients start with a consultation, where fees typically range from £150 to £300. Our team can provide you with more details and an estimate of costs for any tests or procedures required.
For many of our services, we offer fixed-price packages. These cover all hospital and consultant fees, giving you peace of mind regarding the total cost of your care.
Insurance
If you have private health insurance, many of our services will be covered. Insurance generally covers short-term conditions that respond to treatment. However, it’s important to check your policy or speak to your insurer to confirm what is covered before booking your appointment.
Common exclusions include GP services, prescriptions, cosmetic procedures, and emergency care. Your insurer may also have limits or excess costs on your policy, which can be found in your documentation.
