Insurance Patients
Contact your health insurer
Coverage of treatment does differ across insurance providers. Therefore, if you are paying for your treatment with private medical insurance, it is essential that you check the terms and conditions of your policy with your insurer to check you are sufficiently covered.
It is essential that you do this before you have a consultation, investigation, any diagnostic imaging or treatment.
The insurance company will confirm your cover and advise you how to make a claim. They will also confirm if there is any excess for you to pay.

Initial consultation
During your initial consultation your doctor will advice you of their recommended treatment following their diagnosis.
It will then be necessary for you to call your insurance company back to authorise payment for your ongoing treatment. They will provide an authorisation code to accompany your case file.
Payment
To make your life easier, we request our invoices are paid direct by your insurance company. If on occasion, your specialist sends you the invoice, you simply need to forward this to your insurer for payment.
For any questions, please contact our helpful team
