About us
Dr Rajpar provides services through Midland Skin Clinic. Midland Skin Clinic is the trading name for Midland Skin Ltd (Registered in England No12295594, Registered address Normansby Gateway, Lysaghts Way, Scunthorpe, England, DN15 9YG).
Our Services
‘We’, Midland Skin Ltd, offer private dermatologic care. As such, a recommendation for an intervention or other treatment will not be given if this is contrary to the expert opinion of the consultant. No guarantee of a particular outcome from any consultation or treatment is provided.
Contract
We will provide private medical services, as defined under ‘Our Services’ above, and within the scope of our clinical practice, to ‘You’, the patient.
Liability
Midland Skin Ltd will not be liable in contract, tort or otherwise for any economic loss (including, without limitation, loss of profit), or for any other special, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of, or in connection with, its provision of any goods and/or services to you. It is the your responsibility to ensure that you provide us with all relevant medical details at each consultation or treatment. We will not be liable for any damage that occurs as a result of the your failure to disclose such details. You agree to comply with all instructions and/or recommendations given to you by, or on behalf of, Midland Skin Ltd regarding your care.
Cancelling an appointment
We will need to know by 10am on the working day before your appointment if you wish to cancel or change your appointment, and we will provide you with a refund of your deposit or prepayment. Failure to cancel or change your appointment by 10am on the preceding working day will result in a loss of your prepayment or deposit. There are no exceptions to the cancellation policy and this rule is applied in all instances. Please note that a cancellation or non attendance fee also applies if you are an insured patient (see below).
Arriving for your appointment
Please arrive for your appointment at least 10 minutes in advance so that the necessary paperwork can be completed. If you arrive late, the amount of time available with the consultant may be reduced accordingly.
Referrer / GP
Your consultant will inform your GP and your referrer of your consultation or treatment.
Self-funding patients
You agree to pay for the services that we have provided to you, as per the fee schedule on this website. Consultations and minor skin procedures are by prepayment only. Other treatments may require prepayment or a deposit payment. Prices for other items of services that are not listed will be quoted in advance, following consultation. For procedures, the fees charged by us are exclusive to any additional charges that may be made by the hospital, unless stated otherwise.
Overseas patients
We do not offer consultations or prescription, or medical advice, to those who are not in the UK. You must be on UK soil at the time of your consultation with us.
Insured patients
Please be advised that insured patients are liable for full payment as the contract to provide services is with the patient, and not the insurance company. We will invoice your insurance company directly if you provide us with complete details of your scheme, policy number and pre-authorisation number.
You must therefore inform your insurance company of consultations and surgery which you organise with us and confirm you have adequate cover. If your insurer declines to settle your invoice in part or in full, then any shortfall or lack of cover will be due from you.
If you are unsure, we recommend you contact your insurer for advice before scheduling any services with us. We will adhere to the fee schedules set by the major insurance companies and details may be obtained directly from the individual’s insurance company. These fees may differ to the fee schedule which we have for self-funding patients.
We ask you to contact us by 10am on the working day before your appointment if you wish to cancel or reschedule an appointment. If you do not contact us in this time frame, or do not attend for an appointment, you will be required to pay the costs of the appointment in full – please note that medical insurers will not pay for this.
Sponsored patients
A sponsored patient is required to settle their account as per the arrangements for a self-funding patient. A guarantee of payment, or any other payment arrangement, is not accepted by us.
Late or returned payments
Interest on overdue invoices is applied at a rate of 8% a year plus the reference rate and is applicable once 14 days have elapsed following consultation or treatment. Midland Skin Ltd reserves the right to charge a £10 administration fee for late or returned payments in addition to reasonable debt recovery costs incurred.
Refunds
Refunds are not provided.
Fraud and debt collection
Information may be disclosed to others, including debt collection agencies, with a view to recovering any unpaid debts or other costs. Where we instruct debt collection agencies, you may become liable for any additional costs incurred.
