Insured patients

Mr Clamp is a fully recognised provider for all of the major UK private health insurance providers.

Please check with your insurance company before starting your assessment or treatment. Insurance companies vary significantly in how they handle your treatment and what they will provide. If they are not able to fund all aspects of your care, you will be asked to cover the shortfall yourself. 

Self-funding

Self-funding your care is something many people find daunting. Patient’s are understandable concerned about the potential for costs to spiral out of control.

This section is designed to ensure that you have as much information as possible before undertaking your treatment. If you would like further information or have questions, please contact Mr Clamp’s secretary (Liz Hodsdon) or the Spire Bristol sales team.

  • The surgeons fee for any procedures undertaken in the outpatient clinic (such as ear micro-suction, nasal-endoscopy to examine the nose/throat or skin-prick allergy testing)
  • Addition charges from the hospital or audiologists for use of equipment or hearing tests

Mr Clamp’s consultation fees:
