Patient Charges Non NHS Services
It has come to our attention that many of our patients are not aware of the additional charges that can be made in regards to some services provided by the practice.
Some administrative services that we offer are not provided by the NHS and we then charge for these services as outlined below. The cost of these services is in line with British Medical Association guidance.
We want to make our patients aware of these charges so they can make an informed decision regarding any paperwork submissions going forward.
Please see below some of the services and the costs outlined below:
ITEM | CHARGE |
Forms e.g. holiday cancellation, occupational questionnaires, Insurance claims, Firearm Licence renewals etc. | £50.00 |
Private Sick Note (e.g. For an employer) | £10.50 |
Short letter from the Doctor | £16.00 |
Detailed letter from the Doctor | £26.50 |
Disabled Students Allowance | £10.50 |
Disabled Bus Pass Application | £15.00 |
Full Insurance Reports | £130.00 |
Medicals (Pre Employment/HGV/Taxi/Bus) | £130.00 |
*Other additional services may also be chargeable depending on the request, please ask in the surgery and a member of the management team will confirm prices*
Any paperwork will only be signed off and completed once payment has been via cheque or cash in reception.
You will be contacted directly once your paperwork is ready for collection.
