Treatment Choice Launches Comparison Service for Private Patients

LONDON, November 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Which private hospitals offer the specific treatment I require? 

How much will it cost? 

Can I trust the hospital to deliver the appropriate level of care? 

Where can I read hospital reviews? 

http://www.treatmentchoice.co.uk has been developed to inform prospective patients and help them to answer these questions. Until recently private hospitals have not published pricing and care quality statistics. Tight competition between local private hospitals has meant pricing secrecy with no regulations in place for hospitals to release their care quality statistics to the public.

Due to the lack of transparency patients have been left unable to make an informed decision about where to have their treatment and how much they can expect to pay. Choice has been limited to wherever you are referred to by your consultant.

One of the headline findings of a recent Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigation was "a lack of easily comparable information available to patients and their GPs on the quality and costs of private healthcare services".

Treatment Choice is helping to solve this problem and has launched the first comprehensive comparison service in private healthcare in the UK. It offers an innovative and free service to the public, aggregating all available information into a simple, user-friendly portal. By entering a procedure name and a postcode the system will find hospitals close to you and provide the pricing, locality and patient review information for patients to make an informed decision about their care. You can filter the search results by the closest hospital, best price or by top hospital rating.

http://www.treatmentchoice.co.uk is poised to deliver a modern, fresh and transparent approach to the private healthcare industry. With the first version of their website live since 11th July 2015 (beta launch) Treatment Choice will continue to add new procedure listings and more search functionality going into 2016.

If you're a prospective private patient then be sure to bookmark their website.
