Health insurance questions
Which health insurers does The Vesey work with?
The Vesey is approved to see patients insured with Bupa, Vitality, WPA and Healix, and we bill those insurers directly. We also have agreed price lists with many other UK health insurers: call us with your insurer and policy number and we will confirm how your cover works. With a health cash plan, you pay us and claim back with our invoice.
Do I need pre-authorisation before my appointment?
Yes, for almost every insurer. Contact your insurer before you book and get an authorisation code or number. Without it, your insurer may not pay.
Do I need a GP referral to use my insurance?
Most insurers ask you to see a GP first. If you pay for yourself, you can book most appointments without a referral.
What will I pay on the day?
With Bupa, Vitality, WPA or Healix, only any excess on your policy and anything it does not cover. We tell you about any cost first.
My insurer is not one of the four. Can I still come?
Very likely. We have agreed price lists with many other UK health insurers. Call us on 0121 387 3705 with your insurer and policy number and we will confirm how your cover works before you book.
Can I pay for myself instead?
Yes. Self-pay prices are on our price list, and you can book most appointments online without a referral.
