The status of a PATIENT who is an Overseas Visitor.

Note: PATIENTS charged under the National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 1989 (as amended by Statutory Instrument) are NHS  charged PATIENTS and should not be confused with private PATIENTS. Unlike private PATIENTS, NHS Charged PATIENTS are liable to pay for their healthcare even where an undertaking to pay has not been obtained. Alternatively, the PATIENT can opt to be treated as a private PATIENT.

Health Care Providers should recover the full cost of the healthcare given to a  PATIENT who is an Overseas Visitor.  To calculate the cost, trusts follow Non-Contract Activity guidance, which can be found on the NHS England website.
