Please carefully read these Terms and Conditions, all questions you may have need to be raised before attending your appointment.

These Terms and Conditions are subject to change. Updated terms will only apply to appointments made after the changes, if you are part way through a treatment plan your original terms will remain unchanged. It is essential that all information provided by you when completing your medical questionnaire and that you tell your clinician is fully accurate as non-disclosure of information may invalidate your agreement with us.


Consultation Fees - Self Pay

YSM offers a patient-centred clinic priding itself on offering top quality treatments. Treatments and procedures are competitively priced based upon our team's experience, expertise and the level of care provided.

We aim to provide our patients with in-depth information about our treatments to help them make informed decisions. Our reception team works closely with our consultants, radiologists, doctors and clinicians on a regular basis and can help with any initial questions that you may have prior to your appointment.

Payment is required for all appointments and associated treatments. Your appointment will be extensive in nature and delivered by a highly and appropriately qualified clinician.

The cost of your appointment will have been quoted by a YSM team member, if you require further treatments such as scans and/or diagnostics the relevant fees associated with these treatments will be provided prior to the appointment. Please ensure you are aware of the fees involved in advance of treatments and if unsure kindly ask a YSM team member.


Payment

You are required to pay the total cost of your treatment no later than the end of your appointment.

If you have an MRI or other imaging this will be invoiced directly to you by the provider and their terms and conditions will apply to all the services they provide.

Payment can be made via Credit or Debit card (American Express is not accepted), via bank transfer. YSM does not offer any finance options.


Consultation Fees - Health Insurance

YSM is recognised by all major health insurance providers. YSM operates on a fee assured basis. Upon booking your appointment you are required to provide YSM the name of your health insurance provider, policy number and your authorisation code. This information is required to process your health insurance and without it you will be required to pay the full cost of your appointment. If you have an excess on your policy YSM requires you to pay this directly to us. If you are using health insurance to pay for your appointment, your information will be shared with a third party company Medserv to make this claim.
