Patient Terms and Conditions
Our contract with you
These Terms and Conditions, along with the Registration Form and the Confirmation form part of this contract.
Our acceptance of your booking will take place once you have received your Confirmation, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us and you will be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
Our Diagnostic Imaging Services aim to ensure an efficient, informative and affordable path to a diagnosis through the professional medical interpretation of the images we take. We will not provide and are not responsible for providing medical services such as treatment.
If your Confirmation is by telephone, a copy of these Terms and Conditions will be presented to you at our clinic before the Diagnostic Imaging Services commence and payment is taken.
Payment terms
The Payment is set out in the Confirmation. If you receive your Confirmation by telephone, we advise you to make a note of the Payment and other important information discussed on the call. The Payment will be confirmed to you in writing when you attend your appointment.
The Payment shall be in pounds sterling and includes VAT at the applicable rate.
The Payment can be made via major debit or credit cards, a private medical insurance or through a Third-Party Funder.
If you are a Self-Funding Patient, the price of your procedure will be confirmed in the Confirmation. The Payment is required before your procedure. The Payment can be made on our online community Connect or over the phone via our secure payment system.
If you are an Insured Patient, full membership details and authorisation numbers must be provided before your appointment. If we process your claim and your insurer pays us directly, the rate agreed between us and your insurer will apply.
If you are a Third-Party Funded Patient, details of the third-party funder and the relevant third-party agreement, where relevant, must be provided before your appointment. If we provide the procedure and the Third-Party Funder pays us directly, the rate agreed between us and your Third-Party Funder will apply.
The applicable Payment may vary depending on whether you are an Insured Patient, a Self-Funding Patient or a Third-Party Funded Patient.
If you are an Insured Patient or a Third Party Funded Patient you still have primary responsibility for the Payment. If your insurer or Third-Party Funder fails to settle our invoice, we will invoice you directly and you will be required to pay the invoice yourself at the previously agreed rate. In the event that your insurer or Third-Party Funder does not cover the full cost of the service, we will invoice you directly for any shortfall and you will be required to pay the invoice yourself at the previously agreed rate. Any invoices should be paid within 14 days.
Cooling off period
The cooling off period shall be fourteen (14) days from the date on which you receive your Confirmation. During this time, should you wish to cancel your appointment, you may do so free of charge.
Pursuant to The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, we cannot provide any Diagnostic Imaging Services to you until the cooling off period set out above has expired unless you specifically ask us to start the services sooner or accept an appointment before the end of the cooling off period. In doing so, you will waive your right to the fourteen-day cooling off period and, should you later change your mind and wish to cancel your appointment, you must do so by giving at least 48 hours’ notice in order to avoid having to pay the Payment in full.
If you have requested more than one session of Diagnostic Imaging Services and you decide to cancel after we have started to provide the Diagnostic Imaging Services, you will need to pay in full for all the services that have been provided to you until the day that you cancel.
Cancelling or rescheduling an appointment
We operate a cancellation policy for all our services. We require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice should you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
In order to confirm a booking, we reserve the right to request for pre-payment ahead of your appointment. This can be for a number or reasons, including but not limited to the timing, cost, length of your appointment or where there may be additional preparation or resources required for the appointment. Where this is necessary, payment will be required 48 hours prior to your appointment and if your appointment is scheduled within the 48-hour period, payment will be required at the time of booking.
In the event of a Missed Appointment or a Late Cancellation, you will remain under an obligation to pay the Payment.
If you are unable to attend your appointment or would like to reschedule, please notify our Bookings Team by telephone as set out below at least 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time. We will gladly make every effort to accommodate your request.
Bookings Team contact number: 020 7042 1888
Failed scans
There may be situations where we may be unable to complete a scan for example where a patient is uncomfortable, in pain or where they suffer from claustrophobia.
In addition, the presence of metallic implants can cause substantial image artefacts/distortion, however it is impossible to predict the scale of distortion prior to imaging. Image distortion may not be fully eliminated, however we make best endeavours to reduce/minimize the artefacts.
Under these circumstances, after performing the first few sequences, we will assess the imaging and decide whether the scan should continue. If the scan is completed and a report is produced then the full charge will be payable.
Should the decision be made not to continue with the scan and a report is not produced then no charge will be incurred.
Refunds
If you are cancelling your appointment more than 48 hours before your scheduled appointment time and an advance payment has been made, we will arrange a full refund of the advance payment to be issued to you.
Any refund will be paid only to the cardholder who made the original payment and only by the payment method used. We do not pay cash refunds.
We will aim to process the refund within five Business Days.
Complaints
We recognise the need to address and resolve any customer complaints or issues as quickly as possible. Our Complaints Team will endeavour to acknowledge your concerns, offer suggestions to resolve the issue, and work with you to decide on the most appropriate course of action to rectify the issue.
If you have any questions or complaints about these terms and conditions or the service we have provided, please contact us on 0207 042 1888 or email us at imaging@oryon.co.uk.
Liability
We accept responsibility for all Foreseeable loss or damage that you suffer as a result of a failure by us to comply with these Terms and Conditions or a failure by us to act with reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not Foreseeable.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
We will not be responsible to you for any loss suffered by, or damage caused to, you resulting from any inaccurate or incorrect answers given in any documents provided by you to us, including any aspects of the Registration Form, any medical history questionnaire/patient safety questionnaire or any other documentation relating to your medical history.
We will not accept liability in relation to any dispute or disagreement howsoever arising between an Insured Patient and their private medical insurer in respect of the Payment.
We are not responsible to you for any indirect loss or damage (including costs and expenses) of other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever and howsoever caused arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions.
