The Priory Hospital Chelmsford Funding

Private medical insurance

Priory hospitals are all recognised by the major private medical insurers, such as BUPA, PPP and others.  It is advised that you contact your insurer to check that adequate cover is available; again our admissions staff can give you helpful tips and advise in this regard.

Self-funding

Patients who wish to self-fund will be asked to make an initial payment on admission either by credit card, bankers draft or cash.  Details of the charge are available on request from the admissions team.  A self-funding patient will also be asked to sign a financial agreement to guarantee further payments.

NHS/Primary Care Trust

Patients wishing to be funded by the NHS need to discuss funding matters with their own GP or consultant.  The GP or consultant will then apply for funding from the local Primary Care Trust.  An agreement to fund a NHS patient in a Priory hospital is made purely at the discretion of the Primary Care Trust.

Corporate

The Priory Hospital Chelmsford will make financial arrangements with corporate clients; please contact the Hospital Director on 01245 244 702 if you wish to arrange this.
