Payments and funding
Of course you can. You are not restricted to the NHS if you are not insured but have independent means. You can take control of your own health by choosing to see Mr Dan Fagan and having rapid access to expert assessment and treatment. Your surgeon Mr Fagan is wholly responsible for your care and your contract is with him, not the hospital provider. The services offered vary between hospital providers for their component of the package price. Mr Fagan’s commitment to giving you a good result and fee remains the same.
You can also join the practice for a small monthly fee to access a free check-up once a year and 10% off self pay treatments.
First contact Mr Fagan’s practice on 07539 330360. You can then see Mr Fagan as a self funder. If an operation or injection is needed, the package prices can be found directly on the website under ‘package prices’. These are all inclusive of surgical and anaesthetic fees but please note that Mr Fagan’s fee is paid separately and directly to SpineArt Ltd at the time of booking. The balance is then due to the hospital providing the theatre space and resources to Mr Fagan for your stay. Mr Fagan has an open and transparent fee policy and welcomes any questions you may have.

No. The package price includes all costs, including medical imaging and the very unlikely event of an extra stay in hospital or treatment of a complication. Most of Mr Fagan’s patients only stay 1 night in hospital!
Do read and check the patient information given by your chosen hospital provider carefully as this can vary. Our contract of care remains consistent and lies with Mr Fagan and SpineArt ltd.

Whilst Dan Fagan has worked as a Bupa Premier Consultant partner for many years his surgical fees are no longer covered in full. Outpatient fees are covered fully by BUPA along with the hospital facility fee for surgery. For a surgical procedure or spinal injection, a co-payment will be due above the portion of the fee paid by BUPA to your surgeon. My practice manager will be happy to take you through this before booking so that you are fully informed of potential costs.
Please always check your level of cover with your insurer as circumstances can be complex and vary accordingly.
Yes they are, under a fee agreement that has been in place since 2012.
Yes. As with any insurance policy, you may have an excess to pay to your insurer depending upon the individual policy.
Not in full. Aviva will sometimes pay the outpatient fees due to SpineArt Ltd in full along with the facility fee due to the hospital for a surgery. For a surgical procedure or spinal injection, a co-payment will be due above the portion of the fee paid by AVIVA to your surgeon. My practice manager will be happy to take you through this before booking so that you are fully informed of potential costs.

Almost always. In the event of Mr Fagan recommending an individual treatment plan, you will be given a code. You will need to check with your individual insurer. Mr Fagan offers the most up to date procedures possible and in some rare cases these will not be covered by insurers.
In other cases more recently insurers are adapting NICE guidance and clinical guidelines intended for clinicians as a rule based system of underwriting. This means some insurers will no longer pay for certain treatments. Your spinal surgeon Mr Dan Fagan will explain this to you and explain your options if this applies to you.
