NHS Registration

 

 

 

 

        The practice holds an NHS (GDS) contract with the Aneurin Bevan LHB - Monmouthshire Locality Office. The contract is held by Russell Gidney and Andrew Meek-Welsh.

        As a National Health Service (NHS) patient you will be registered under standard, nation wide NHS terms of service. This means that the treatments offered and prices charged are fixed.

The NHS is government subsidised, provided treatment “to secure and maintain oral health” Most treatments are available to NHS patients with prices being paid based on a fixed fee for the band the treatment falls under - the remaining charge being paid by the government. Therefore because the NHS pays for part of the treatment, there are restrictions concerning what can be offered. However, for those treatments not available and for more cosmetic alternatives you can elect to pay privately for selected parts of your treatment. For example, many patients prefer to have cosmetic “white” fillings rather than metal fillings or see the hygienist privately to remove staining.

 

Treatment Bands

Band 1: £12- “Basic treatment”- Examination + X-rays/Scale & Polish only if needed

Band 2: £39- “Simple intervention”- Band 1 treatment + necessary Fillings and Extractions and Root Fillings

Band 3: £177- “Advanced treatments”-  Band 1&2 treatments + Dentures, Crowns & Bridges

 

    These prices are based on the Welsh NHS regulations and will be higher if your treatment is provided in England

    Some patients are fully or partially exempt from paying NHS charges. This makes no difference to the treatment that is offered to you but it is important to provide evidence of your exemption as early as possible, ideally at your assessment visit. If you do not you will have to pay, then claim the money back from the relevant authority.
