Private Fees
From time to time, GPs are asked by patients to carry out work for patients which does not form part of their General Medical Services provision. As such, this work will attract a fee which is often payable by the patient. Examples of this may be HGV Medicals, letters or reports in support of medical insurance claims, private treatment (GP or Nurse) where applicable or Power of Attorney applications. The receptionist or GP will advise you when this is the case and we can give you an estimate of any costs involved.
Some example fees are:
- Private Medical Examinations (HGV, PSV Etc): From £135.00
- Holiday Cancellation Insurance Claim: From £40.00
- Incapacity Certificates For Employer, School etc: £25.00
- GP Letter (To Whom it May Concern): From £25.00
- Private Prescription (Per Item): £25.00
- Power Of Attorney Application: £50.00
- Letter Stating Fitness For Occupational Reasons: From £25.00
- Shotgun Licence Application: £75.00
- Private Laboratory Fees: On Application
We ask that patients allow up to 7 working days before collection of requested paperwork.
Private Treatment Services
If you are undergoing an episode of treatment through a private provider, please be advised that the package of care you are receiving from them will cover ALL aspects of your care for the duration of your treatment. This will include both pre and post operative care including blood testing, wound care, suture/staple removal etc.
If on any occasion the practice is asked to carry out a procedure as part of this private treatment, you will be charged for the services provided. We are happy to provide an estimate of costs to you in advance of any such appointment. All private hospitals are aware of this and should contact the practice in advance of advising any patient to attend the practice for a private procedure.
Payments
Payment can be made by cash or cheque for these services. Alternatively, we are happy to accept a bank transfer and our staff can provide bank details on request. Please note that completed documentation will not be released until full payment has been received.
