Consultant Orthopaedic Knee and Trauma Surgeon
Private fees

Private fees

Mr Rupert Clifton is recognised by all major insurance companies and his fees are in line with the BUPA guide-price.

Gap Payments

Mr Clifton does not usually charge a gap payment. Remuneration from insurers was frozen in the early 1990s so some surgeons charge an additional fee to cover the reduction in income caused by nearly 20 years of inflation, this additional fee is known as a 'gap payment'.

With the recent restrictions in the NHS many people now act to ensure they will see a consultant who specialises in their problem, so Mr Clifton also welcomes those not covered by insurance. Coming to see Mr Clifton will give you a speedy diagnosis and full explanation by a specialist, but we feel it only fair to stress that being seen privately gives no priority into the NHS system.
