Ms Bremner-Smith is a registered provider with all commonly used medical insurance companies so your treatment should be covered by your insurance. As Ms Bremner-Smith has been a provider with these companies for many years she is able to retain independence regarding her fee structure unlike newly qualified Consultants. This means she does not need to be ‘fee assured’ , nor is she on the ‘open referral network’. This does not mean you cannot make an appointment with her. If you have any queries about this please call Sara. ​ Most insurance companies will not automatically cover 100% of the total cost and you may be asked to pay a certain amount yourself. This is usually in the vicinity of 15%. If this is a problem for you please get in touch as we can usually resolve the problem by adjusting our fee structure to accommodate insurance deficit.

If you are a self-pay patient, you will be sent an invoice along with the clinic letter. This will take place after the consultation or procedure. You will then be able to settle by credit or debit card payment or via bank transfer with a company called 'Trusthealth Ltd'.

We aim for you to receive your clinic letter on the next working day if sent via email. The letter can be sent either by email or regular post, depending on your preference.

Operations are usually performed at the Fortius Clinic Theatre Suite or the Lister Hospital Theatres on Thursday afternoons. Sometimes ad hoc arrangements can be made to accommodate your requirements.
