Schedule of Benefit for Medical Fees
Operations/procedures are classified using CCSD (Coding, Classification and Schedule Development) codes.
These are listed in the WPA Schedule along with the benefit we will pay towards the fee your specialist charges.
If your specialist tells you that you need an operation please ask him to let us know which code he will use and
what his fee will be. We can then confirm whether it will be met in full before your treatment starts. In practice,
the vast majority of all consultants´ fees are paid in full, in line with the guidelines of maximum customary and
reasonable charges shown in the Schedule. Guidance on combinations of codes considered unacceptable by CCSD can
be found on www.ccsd.org.uk.
While this Schedule will mainly be used by your specialist, it is here for your
information too. You can search the WPA Schedule using the form below or alternatively
you can view or print the WPA Schedule.
