Understanding your health insurance policy

Private health insurance policies vary considerably between providers. Before booking at The Vesey, there are a few things worth checking with your insurer:

  • Does your policy require a GP referral letter? Some policies require a referral from a GP before covering specialist consultations. The Vesey's own GPs can provide referral letters as part of a £90 consultation if needed.
  • Is The Vesey on your insurer's approved list? Most major insurers work with The Vesey. Call your insurer or call us on 0121 387 3727 to confirm.
  • What is your excess? If your policy carries an excess (e.g. £100–£500), you will pay this amount before insurance covers the remainder. We will invoice your insurer directly for the balance.
  • Are blood tests and diagnostics covered? Most policies cover diagnostic tests ordered as part of a specialist consultation. Blood tests booked independently may be subject to different terms — check your policy booklet.

Frequently asked questions about health insurance at The Vesey

Do I need pre-authorisation from my insurer before booking?
Most insurers require pre-authorisation before specialist consultations. For GP appointments, pre-authorisation is less commonly required but worth checking. Call your insurer before booking to confirm — this avoids the risk of your claim being rejected.
Will I need a GP referral letter for my insurer?
Some insurers require a GP referral letter before covering specialist appointments. If your policy has this requirement, The Vesey's GPs can provide a referral letter as part of a £90 GP consultation — typically the same day or same week.
How does The Vesey invoice my insurer?
Once your appointment is complete, we invoice your insurer directly using your policy number and pre-authorisation code. You are only responsible for your applicable excess. We will confirm the estimated cost with you in advance so there are no surprises.
Can I switch from self-pay to insurance mid-treatment?
This depends on your insurer and whether your condition was pre-existing when your policy started. Contact your insurer to discuss your specific circumstances. Our admin team is happy to assist with the paperwork.
