Treatment fees
Most people visit an osteopath as a private patient and pay for their treatment.
Our fees are:
- £85.00 for a 45 minute new patient consultation/treatment, or returning existing patient re-examination/treatment.
- £65.00 for a 30 minute follow up treatment.
- We accept payment by Cash or Card.
Late cancellations, within 24 hours of appointment and non arrivals might be charged the full appointment fee at our discretion.
Private health insurance
Paul and Rachel are specialist providers for all major health insurance companies, excluding BUPA and Vitality, who we have recently resigned from, due to their unreasonable terms and conditions.
If you have private health insurance you will need to contact them before you start any treatment and discuss starting a claim and the available level of cover/ budget /excess requirements. They may require you to be referred by your GP. This very often need only be a verbal agreement between you and your GP, and a comment on your records, and then between you and the insurance company. It is now largely a paperless system. They then provide a Claim or Authorisation number that confirms your cover and allows us to invoice them directly. For us to do this on your behalf there is a small additional fee to cover the administration/paperwork and often significant delay in payment. This is included within the treatment fee to your provider and covered by them.
Please note, while we are happy to run an account on your behalf and invoice your health insurance company, you remain entirely responsible for your treatment fees.
