Fees & cover
What it costs, before you are sitting in the room
A hospital that will not publish a consultation fee is a hospital people put off going to. Here are ours, in cedis, reviewed each January.
What things cost
Published, in cedis, up front
These are the standing rates at all three sites, reviewed each January. Anything planned gets a written estimate before it happens, and the estimate is what you are billed.

Cover
Three ways to pay, and one for when you cannot
NHIS
Covers the general outpatient consultation, the childhood immunisation schedule, most routine laboratory work and the drugs on the national essential list. Bring a valid card; we will tell you at the desk what it does not cover before you are seen, not after.
Private schemes
We bill Acacia Health, GLICO Healthcare, Nationwide Medical and Cosmopolitan Health directly. Bring the card and photo ID. Pre-authorisation for planned admissions usually takes us a working day.
Paying yourself
Cash, card or mobile money at any site. Ask for the estimate before anything planned and ask for it in writing — we would rather give you one than argue about a bill afterwards.
If you cannot pay
Emergencies are stabilised first and the money is discussed afterwards. For everything else, ask for the welfare officer at reception: instalments exist, and so does a hardship fund the hospital tops up each year.
In an emergency
We stabilise first and ask about cover afterwards. Nobody is turned away from A&E for money, at any hour, ever.
