TREATMENTS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
New and follow up fees are made available on request and prices for any additional procedures will be quoted in full at the time of booking. For self funding patients ( and for excess payments of insured patients) an invoice will be issued by the company MedServ.
Please note that non-attendance or cancellations of appointments within 48 hours of the appointment will attract a penalty fee of at least £100. This will be invoiced in the standard manner and further appointments will NOT be booked until it is paid.
Please make every attempt to top up your prescriptions at booked appointments. Prescriptions between appointments will only be issued if I have reviewed you in the last 6 months. These will generally be issued via the online pharmacy Pharmacierge and will not attract an extra fee. If you require a prescription posted there will be a fee of £25. If you were asked to book a review appointment and have not done so in the timeframe requested, and as a result you require a new prescription, there will be a £25 charge. After 6 months, under all circumstances, you will need to book a review. This can sometimes be virtual depending on individual circumstances. This policy has been put in place due to an increasing volume of prescription requests between appointments.
