Self-Funding Fees
A guide to fees for self-funding patients subject to payment terms being met. If you are an insured patient, please contact us for further information since fees may differ and not all insurers cover every type of procedure. If you have health insurance, you would be advised to contact your insurer first to check that the practitioner you wish to see works with them. Some of our practitioners only work with a small number of insurers.

Payment Terms (Musculoskeletal Doctors: Self-funding patients): Payment should be made at the time of the appointment (or within 7 days if payment is being made by BACS transfer). An additional charge of £15.00 per appointment may be levied for any self-funding account which is not settled within 7 days of the appointment. Any additional discount offered is also subject to payment terms of 7 days.
In some instances, discretionary funding may be provided by other third parties (such as a specific occupational scheme), but where this is the case, patients may still need to self fund and claim eligible costs back from the relevant third party. For this reason we would advise patients to obtain any agreement for discretionary funding in writing from their third party.
For patients who wish to claim back from a “Hospital Fund” or “Cash Plan” policy such as those operated by Simply Health, please ensure that you check the terms of your policy before you attend. Most of these policies will cover therapies such as physiotherapy, podiatry and osteopathy. As far as medical claims on these policies are concerned, the General Medical Council (GMC) does not have a specialist register for Musculoskeletal Medicine which means that under the terms of most cash plans, you will not be covered for our medical services. Some private medical insurers do have discretionary recognition for specialist doctors in Musculoskeletal Medicine, but they do not tend to apply these criteria to their simpler cash plan policies.
