Updated: Added 'Upfront charging operational framework' document.
This revised guidance is for NHS bodies who need to charge overseas visitors for NHS hospital treatment, under the NHS (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2017.
The guidance incorporates changes that come into effect from 21 August 2017 and 23 October 2017. A full list of changes is in the Introduction.
The guidance should be used alongside the regulations and any additional legal advice.
We have also provided template letters, guidance and posters to help the NHS recover the costs of health care from visitors and migrants.
