Medical Insurance and Payments

We are recognised by most major health insurers and are usually happy to invoice BUPA, AXA PPP and AVIVA directly for the cost of your treatment, although this will not affect your liability as responsibility for the payment of our fees in full. In order to take advantage of this service you will need to provide us with your membership number, pre-authorisation number, the number of treatment sessions you have authorised and also any excess that is required to be paid. We will also need your credit/debit card details at the time of booking.

Please note that even if you have private medical insurance it may not cover our fees and expenses. Particular treatments may not be covered by your insurance provider, or there may be an excess payable. We will require that you pay any remaining balance, should your insurance company not cover the full cost of treatment. For example, fees that will not be reimbursed by health insurance companies include stock items, late or missed appointment charges.

Direct Payments

If you are not covered by one of the main insurance companies that we invoice directly, you will be required to pay the full cost of your treatment at each appointment. We can then provide you with the necessary receipts to process claiming this back from your insurance company. We accept payment via card payments (online payment system or over the telephone) or BACS transfer. Cash is only accepted if the exact amount is given in an envelope (see our COVID-19 policy)

Late Payments

Payments must be made within the specified billing period. You will be liable for all costs of collecting or enforcing payment from you.

Cancellation Policy

We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancelled appointments. If you cancel in less than this timeframe, or miss an appointment, you will be charged in full.

Children

All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian to all appointments.

Referrals

From time to time we may refer you to a third party for further assessment, treatment or medical imaging. This will only be undertaken following discussion with you and with your verbal consent. We will send a referral to the agreed third party and you will be responsible for organising the appointment. You will then be bound by the terms and conditions of the third party, and we undertake no liability of the third party.
