Clear costs. No surprises.

Whether you are covered by an HMO, the NHIA (formerly NHIS), a corporate scheme, or paying for yourself, our team explains what things cost in plain language — and for planned procedures, you get it in writing before you decide.

Self-pay & written estimates

How cost estimates work.

If you are paying for yourself, or a treatment falls outside your cover, here is exactly what happens.

01

Request

Ask your clinician or our front desk for a cost estimate for the procedure being considered.

02

Written estimate

You receive the estimate in writing, so you can review it at your own pace.

03

Decide

You choose whether, and when, to go ahead — with no pressure to decide on the spot.

For planned procedures you receive a written estimate before you decide — always.

This applies whether you are self-pay, working with an HMO, or covered by a corporate scheme. Payment can be made by cash, transfer or card.
