Those patients paying for consultation, treatment or items by private health
insurance are kindly reminded to note that payment for all and such matters
remains strictly the responsibility of the patient. The insurer may be the method
by which the patient discharges that responsibility but responsibility remains with

patient remains fully liable for any outstanding payment
