Dealing with a patient who has been treated abroad is no different to seeing a patient who has previously received care under another contract in England or Wales.

If the patient is accepted in England and the treatment is not Unscheduled Care or if it’s not an Urgent Care Package in Wales, any treatment appropriate to Mandatory Services identified as clinically necessary must be provided subject to the patient or their representative’s consent.

If the original treatment was not provided by the current contract provider, 'Further treatment within 2 months', 'Free repair / replacement' and 'Regulation 11' replacement appliance will not apply.
