Fees

For Patients seeking ENT Services from Ms. Yasmin Abbas

Our fees align with the standard rates set by insurers for all outpatient consultations and surgical procedures. Below is a guide for both insured and self-paying patients regarding the payment process and additional considerations.

Insured Patients

Ms Yasmin Abbas is recognised and fee-assured by all major medical insurance providers. To ensure a smooth process, please follow these steps:

  1. Obtain Pre-Authorisation: Contact your insurance provider before your appointment to obtain an authorisation number. Bring this number, along with your membership details (personal and group scheme numbers if applicable), to your first consultation.
    • Without pre-authorisation, you will be billed on the day of your appointment and will need to claim reimbursement directly from your insurer.
  2. Check Your Policy Details:
    • Verify whether your policy has an excess fee, a cost-sharing arrangement, or any reimbursement shortfall. These costs will be your responsibility.
    • Check your outpatient benefit status, especially if there is a cap on your cover. Confirm whether diagnostic tests and procedures, such as hearing tests, blood tests, ear microsuction, or endoscopic examinations, will impact your outpatient budget.
  3. Claims Process:
    • Ensure you comply with any conditions set by your insurer, such as completing claim forms promptly. While insurance companies typically pay us directly, any outstanding invoices remain your responsibility.
    • If you require surgery, inform your insurer as soon as possible. You will be provided with hospital details, procedure codes, and the consultant's fee by Ms Abbas' secretary to help facilitate this process.
  4. Shortfalls and Excess Fees:
    • If your policy includes an excess or cost-sharing provision (e.g., paying 10-25% of costs), we will notify you of any shortfall after your insurer processes the claim. Payment will only be required once we receive payment from the insurer.

Self-Paying Patients

If you are funding your treatment yourself, we aim to provide clear and transparent cost information:

  1. Fee Breakdown: Contact Ms Yasmin Abbas' private secretary to receive a detailed breakdown of expected fees for consultations and any required procedures.
  2. Facility Fees: Additional charges (facility fees) may apply for certain procedures, such as nasal endoscopic examinations. These fees are set by the hospital or clinic and invoiced separately.
