Aviva has been working with five other major private insurers as part of the Clinical Classification and Schedule Development (CCSD) group. The group was formed to oversee the improvement of coding standards used in the private medical sector.

The key initiative was to develop a common set of codes and descriptions across the industry. Codes have also been brought up to date to more accurately describe today's medical practice. Codes have been added, split, merged or deleted to reflect the current set of procedures practised for that speciality.

The work has resulted in the publication of the CCSD schedule and our schedule has been produced using these codes. We are pleased to announce that for the first time our Fee Schedule is now available online.

Our aim remains the same as before, which is to establish a fair and reasonable fee, based on relativities which reflect such factors as complexity, duration and comparing one procedure with another. Where possible, we have considered information derived from other schedules circulating in the United Kingdom and also from claims experience.

We do recognise that due to evolving medical practice, the complexities of procedures may change slowly over time. We do keep our approach to specialist fees under continuous review and welcome input from professional bodies in this respect.

Specialist fees represent a significant element of total private medical insurance claims and as such, have a major impact on premiums. For these to remain affordable, doctors, hospitals and insurers must work together to provide quality healthcare at a reasonable and realistic cost.

It is important to note that the procedure unit figures shown on this site are for relative values only. The actual fee payable will be a standard multiplier of the unit value, which is currently set at £12 per unit. The maximum fee is also shown along side each relative value for the procedure itself and for the services of an anaesthetist where clinically necessary. The sum quoted represents the maximum fee, which Aviva will reimburse for the procedure.

Information provided to Aviva by specialists will be processed for the purposes of policy and claims administration and associated activities including payment for your services, maintenance of your details and fraud prevention. The data controllers are Aviva Health UK Ltd, Aviva Insurance UK Limited and Aviva Life and Pensions UK Limited. Calls and emails may be recorded and/or monitored.
