Fees and insurance
Private breast surgery fees and insurance
Dr Fiona Tsang-Wright (GMC 4549831) is a consultant oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgeon. She sees private patients at Harley Street, Chelsea, and The Chiltern Hospital, and she is an NHS consultant at Bucks Breast Unit. Self-pay patients are welcome, and fees are quoted before you commit. If you are insured, check recognition and pre-authorisation with your insurer. Sarah or Nadiya can give a quote for a planned visit.
For clinic addresses, see our private breast surgeon in London page, covering Harley Street, Chelsea and Buckinghamshire.
This page explains how insurance and self-pay work in practice, where to get a written quote in advance for surgery or reconstruction, and how to confirm current fees and insurer recognition. International patients should also see the overseas-patients page for visa, translator, and embassy-scheme logistics.
In line with the CMA Order on private healthcare, my published consultant fees and private medical insurer recognition status are maintained on the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN). Breastory does not duplicate those figures or insurer lists on this page. PHIN is the authoritative source for current fee amounts and recognition status. For an itemised quote for a specific appointment, operation, or hospital, contact my PAs.
Private medical insurance
I accept patients with private medical insurance. Current insurer recognition is published on my PHIN profile and is reviewed periodically. Please confirm current status with your insurer or with my PAs before booking.
Self-pay
Self-pay is straightforward and often the simplest option if you do not have private insurance, or if your policy has not been activated in time for a first appointment. Fees are fixed and quoted upfront before any commitment.
Consultation, imaging, biopsy, pathology, and surgery are quoted separately. Typical self-pay services (first consultation, one-stop breast clinic, private mammogram or ultrasound, MRI, core biopsy, lumpectomy, mastectomy, and DIEP flap reconstruction) are all Quoted by Dr Tsang-Wright’s PAs on enquiry once the appointment, hospital, and clinical scope are confirmed. Published fee ranges on PHIN are a useful reference; your written quote may differ by hospital and what is clinically needed on the day.
For surgery, the fee structure is always: surgeon’s fee + anaesthetist’s fee + hospital fee (theatre time, ward stay, drugs, consumables). The practice provides the surgeon’s fee in writing; the anaesthetist quotes separately; the hospital’s international or self-pay coordinator quotes the hospital element. Sarah or Nadiya collate these into a single written quote before any commitment.
For an itemised quote, email Dr Tsang-Wright’s PAs with the operation or service in question, the preferred hospital (Harley Street area, Chelsea, or Buckinghamshire), and any time-frame, or call 07785 274 744.
What is included
A consultation includes:
Review of your history and any prior imaging
Clinical examination
Discussion of findings and a written plan
Written information to take home
Between appointments, you can contact Sarah or Nadiya, Dr Tsang-Wright’s PAs, for follow-up questions. This is a service of the practice, not part of the chargeable consultation fee.
Separate charges apply for imaging, biopsy, pathology, MRI, surgery, and any procedures performed at the hospital.
Payment
Payment for self-pay consultations is taken at the hospital on the day (card or bank transfer). Surgery is invoiced in advance via the hospital booking team.
Questions
If anything about fees or insurance is unclear before your appointment, please ask. It’s simpler to sort in advance than to be caught out on the day. Contact Dr Tsang-Wright’s PAs or see current fees and insurer recognition on PHIN.
