No, there's no excess to pay. But employees will be responsible for funding any costs incurred that exceed £2,500 when accessing our Medical Diagnostics service.

Members should always contact us for authorisation prior to making any appointments for Medical Diagnostics.

Yes. Members can request private medical diagnosis in our national diagnostic network for symptoms which have been referred by an qualified NHS practitioner and where the NHS wait time will be more than three weeks. Once authorised, we can support diagnostic costs up to £2,500.

Requests for private surgical treatment for our approved procedures in our treatment network will be considered if employees have already been given an NHS referral of five weeks or more and they have a CCSD code for a procedure from our approved list of procedures. 

We provide private healthcare for everyone, but we do it a little differently.

We work on a discretionary basis, which means that the Board decides which services are provided and what's available in each service. The exception is for tuberculosis treatment, which we offer on an insured basis.

When we change our services, we'll let you know on our website or we'll get in touch with you directly. So all of our members should, at any time, be aware of what's available to them, and what we do and don't provide.

There are some limits and exclusions which apply to specific services. Please review the technical guide for full details.

We are not a private medical insurer. We provide healthcare services on a discretionary basis, except treatment for TB, which is provided on an insured basis. Our services are reviewed regularly and subject to the resources we have available. In some cases, provision of service can be dependent on factors such as a referral from a qualified NHS practitioner, NHS wait times and the type of treatment required. This is explained in detail for each service throughout the guide.

After 60 days they can still add family to their membership, but they’ll be exempt from any Special Conditions regarding when they can access our services.
