In a perfect world, we'd provide our members with every kind of healthcare possible. Because we believe in keeping memberships costs down, there are certain areas that we’re currently unable to offer help with.
We'll continue working hard to improve and extend our services. Unfortunately, we currently cannot pay for:
- Diagnostic consultations with consultants who do not have an NHS post and are not registered with a royal college such as the Royal College of Surgeons or Physicians
- Appointments with specialists such as radiologists, dentists, opticians or complementary therapists, pain management specialists
- IVF treatment
- Cosmetic, breast, plastic, sterilisation, nerve, dental or maxillofacial surgery, or surgery for transplants
- Surgery for arterial, cardiac, neurological or complex orthopaedic problems or Bariatric surgery
- Consultations, tests and treatment outside the UK
- Cancer care services which are delivered by non-UK, non-VAT registered organisations
- Retrospective services, where our written authorisation has not been sought.
Self-Pay Treatment
Where we do not provide treatment, you or your family may wish to fund it privately - and we offer a simple guide to explain the process.
Among other useful topics, it covers choosing a consultant, choosing a hospital and finance.
