New Patients
On booking an initial appointment a deposit will be required to secure the appointment, this will be deducted from the final balance at the end of the consultation. If the consultation is via video link or telephone, the full consultation fee is to be paid to secure the appointment.
Insurance
Insurance companies in the UK may not cover fees for visits to GPs. Please check with your insurance provider at all stages for appropriate authorisations.
Doctors Fees
Doctor’s Fees and Nurse’s Fees also apply to telephone conversations/ video consultations; Skype or Facetime calls, e-mails or indeed any other form of medical contact.
Charges for letters or reports are time-based and depend on complexity.
NHS Practice
Please note that there is no need to de-register from your NHS practice. The service provided by Private General Practice Services complements the service provided by the NHS and can be used as well as or instead of the services provided by your NHS Practitioner.
Cancellations
If cancelled within 48 hours, 50% of the consultation fee will be charged. If cancelled within 24 hours, 100% of the consultation fee will be charged. Missed appointments will also be charged at 100% the consultation fee. Repeated missed appointments will require consultation fee being paid upfront.
All fees are payable immediately after the consultation by cash, cheque or credit card. (All credit cards accepted apart from American Express). We will endeavour to charge the full amount immediately after a consultation, this is not always possible and you may be sent a further invoice.
