Why see a Healix health insurance registered specialist?
If you have a Healix health insurance policy, you can use an approved consultant to provide your healthcare. And, at Practice Plus Group, the process of accessing this care through your Healix policy is a simple one – we’ll look closer at this later on in this blog.
Alongside planned treatments and surgeries, Healix health insurance policyholders also have the ability to make healthcare decisions based on treatment speciality, hospital location, and suitability. With Practice Plus Group, you’ll be able to choose consultants that have already been recognised and approved for insured patients.
For more information about consultant choice and hospital lists, please take a look at the Healix website.
Healix consultant reviews
Is persistent pain affecting your quality of life? If you answered ‘yes’ to that question, you’re in luck because our Healix-approved specialists are on-hand to help. Take a look at what a past patient has said about their experience with one of our Healix-approved consultants.
“From the moment I arrived at the hospital, the staff were fantastic. Everyone was friendly, professional and reassuring. Mr Ferenc Toth, my surgeon, was excellent, and the nurses and physiotherapy team were brilliant too.”
Mark Somerset, hip replacement patient at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough
Don’t forget, if you want to access your treatment via Healix private medical insurance, the process is simple. You’ll have your treatment at a time to suit you after your initial consultation with a specialist who will be with you throughout your time with us.
How to find a Healix consultant
Our simple Healix consultant finder takes the stress out of searching for the right consultant. The handy extra filters allow you to search by treatment type and location to make your experience as straightforward as possible.
Remember to take your time when it comes to choosing your approved consultant. Your chosen specialist should have experience carrying out the treatment you need alongside good reviews from past patients.
Before you progress to make a booking with us at Practice Plus Group, remember to check the terms of your policy to make sure the specific treatment you need is covered.
Healix consultant fees explained
All private healthcare costs vary depending on the type of treatment needed.
And, when it comes to taking out private health insurance, you should be aware that Healix’s requirements may differ from other insurance providers. With that in mind, you’ll need to ensure these parameters are met before you can progress with your claim and be approved for treatment.
For more information on consultant fees and the costs you may incur for insured healthcare treatment, you’ll need to visit the Healix website.
How it works
The step-by-step guide below takes you through the process of accessing Practice Plus Group private healthcare using your Healix insurance policy.
Contact your health insurance provider
The first thing you’ll need to do is get in touch with Healix. They’ll let you know whether your treatment is financially covered by the terms of your policy. If so, they’ll also supply you with an authorisation code. This allows you to proceed to booking an initial consultation with us.
Choose a registered consultant
Healix will also send you a list of consultants that they’ve approved to carry out treatment for your issue. At this point, you’ll need to choose one of these from the list. Remember to take your time; choosing a consultant is an important decision and you may wish to do your own research.
Book an initial consultation
Having chosen a consultant, the next step is to get in touch with us. Our friendly patient advisors will get you booked in for an initial consultation at a time that suits you.
Remember, your pre-surgery consultation is an opportunity to learn more about your specific health issue. Don’t be reluctant to speak up and ask your consultant plenty of questions about what’s to come. Depending on your condition, further diagnostic tests may be needed to arrive at a diagnosis.
Book your procedure
If your consultant indicates that you need treatment, we’ll provide you with a procedure code (also called a CCSD code). You’ll need to give this to Healix to help confirm your insurance cover.
How payment works
Please ensure that you have authorised your treatment directly with Healix. As an insured patient, you’ll need to have your authorisation code available for each step of your treatment.
Healix will be able to advise you of any fees or excess payments you may be liable for. These may include:
- excess payments
- cost-share agreements
- limits on outpatient consultations
- diagnostic tests
- any policy restrictions that could financially affect you.
To confirm whether you need to pay any excesses, clarify the limitations and liabilities on your policy, you’ll need to get in touch with Healix directly.
Why choose us for your insured surgery?
At Practice Plus Group, we’re passionate about making sure all our patients receive a positive experience, excellent clinical outcomes, and personalised healthcare on every step of their journey with us.
Practice Plus Group hospitals and surgical centres can be found up and down the country, all offering fast access to high-quality treatment with a consultant of your choice.
