Frequently asked
questions
How can I go private? Find a clinic in my area?
Anyone can be seen as a private patient, either by being referred
by their GP or self-referring to a consultant. You may
wish to take up private health insurance or just pay outright
for your treatment. Many private insurance companies
will only pay for consultations or treatment if the patient
has been referred by their GP. If you self-refer, you may not
receive payment from the private insurance company. Please
check this with your private insurance company. It is
also worth noting that some private doctors will only see patients
who are referred to them from a GP and will not accept self-referral.
Please ask your GP for more information. You can use the internet
to search for clinics in your area and the interests of the
consultants.
