Private Medical Insurance Most medical insurers, including PruHealth, PPP and BUPA will cover your Consultants costs, provided your GP has referred you to them.

No insurer currently pays for general health screening, though PruHealth policyholders receive significant discounts on the cost of health screens at The Diagnostic Clinic.

BUPA may insist that a referral comes from a specialist, not a GP.

Other insurers generally accept a GP referral. Please enquire through your insurer what they recommend. Any person wishing to use insurance to cover costs MUST bring the insurance form to the consultation. 

Forms will not be filled in at a later date unless you book a further appointment or telephone consultation for this purpose, which will incur a further charge.


Pru Health Policyholders

The Diagnostic Clinic provides health assessments to customers of PruHealth, the UK's most rapidly growing private medical insurer. 

PruHealth's philosophy is to encourage a focus on health and wellbeing, incouraging people to be proactive about managing their health. The Diagnostic Clinic is pleased to support the initiative.

PruHealth policyholders will be able to reduce the cost of their health insurance in a variety of ways, such as having regular health assessments, managing existing conditions, giving up smoking or taking more exercise.

The Diagnostic Clinic has developed health assessments specifically for PruHealth policyholders and these are offered at heavily subsidised prices.

Each assessment will also earn the policyholder ‘Vitality points’, which will help them move up, to higher tiers of PruHealth membership.

Likewise, sufferers of conditions such as asthma will be rewarded for taking all the necessary medical steps to manage their condition i.e.g, stop smoking, the medical help for managing such conditions is available at The Diagnostic Clinic.
