I accept privately funded clients and am also registered as a provider with many of the major health insurers. Insurance payments do need to be verified with your provider prior to assessment to ensure that treatment is covered and whether there are limits as to the amount of sessions that you are able to claim. I will need a claim code from your insurer prior to booking an assessment appointment. Your insurance policy may also include an annual excess for which you are liable.
Current session fees are £150 for the first 90 minute assessment appointment then £100 per hourly session. If shorter or longer sessions are required then these are charged on a pro rata basis. Fees should be paid before, at, or following a session by bank transfer, cash or cheque.If your fees are being paid by private medical insurance the sessions are normally invoiced directly to the insurance provider.
I also accept clients referred from solicitors or independent agencies following personal injury. In these instances I require a letter from the referring agent stating that they agree to pay for treatment and detailing any conditions around type or length treatment authorised.
There is no extra charge for brief phone calls or emails however if additional consultation by telephone or email is required this may be discussed at the session and may be charged at the normal fee rate on a pro rata basis.
