Dr Pinder is a Bupa Platinum consultant, fee assured and part of the BUPA Open Referral Network. Bupa Platinum Consultants have a proven track record, they:
• deliver care in line with medical best practice
• play an important role in managing healthcare cost
• help to keep premium increases down
Patients of fee assured consultants won't get any extra bills, as long as their policy or scheme covers their care. Bupa Platinum consultants are covered by all our policies and schemes. This means more choice for patients. 97% of Bupa patients rate Platinum consultants good or excellent.
A third of Bupa patients have open referral policies or schemes. In an open referral a patient’s GP will decide the speciality of the consultant that a patient needs to see rather referring them to a specific consultant. Some of patient’s policies and schemes are based on this referral pathway. Using information from the GP, the insurance company offer patients a choice of up to three consultants or therapists with the appropriate medical expertise who are members of the BUPA Referral network. Open Referral Network dermatology consultants have to show that their costs align with other dermatologists.
