Funding Your Care

At Nova Healthcare and the Leeds Gamma Knife Centre, we welcome all private patients, whether your treatment is covered by health insurance or you choose to self-fund.

At your first appointment, we’ll ask how you plan to pay — either through insurance or self-payment — so we can guide you through the process and support you with any pre-authorisation or paperwork.

Every patient’s situation is unique, and we design treatment plans specifically for your individual needs. Because treatment can vary, we can provide an accurate cost estimate once your consultant has finalised your personalised plan.

Please note: From 1 May, we no longer accept cash payments for consultations, diagnostic tests, or treatment. Payments can be made via cheque or bank transfer, and full payment must be received before admission click here for more information.


For Self-Pay Patients

If you are funding your own treatment, you can either:

  • Pay in full at the start of your treatment, or

  • Pay a deposit with the remaining balance due at an agreed time (usually at the end of treatment).

Once your treatment plan is confirmed, we can provide package prices for radiotherapy and estimates for chemotherapy, daycare, and consumables — helping you plan ahead with confidence.


For Insured Patients

If you are using insurance, it’s important to:

  1. Check that your policy covers the treatment you are due to receive.

  2. Contact your insurer to let them know about your upcoming treatment and request any claim forms or pre-authorisation letters.

We have direct billing arrangements with all major UK private medical insurers, so we can invoice them directly for your treatment. Coverage differs between insurers, so checking your policy beforehand ensures there are no surprises.

We’re here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on your care and recovery.
