Yes you can. Please call us as usual to request authorisation for diagnostics, treatment and physiotherapy.
Our 24/7 GP and Mental Health Helplines are open as normal. You can call our GP advice line with concerns relating to coronavirus (COVID-19).
In normal circumstances, we can provide a prompt diagnosis for any set of symptoms following a GP referral, if the wait time on the NHS is more than three weeks. For treatment (when NHS waiting times are more than five weeks), please find the list of conditions covered under our treatment services here.
However, for both services, it is important to note that some specialities are going to take some time to become accessible and will be dependent upon a number of factors such as service, consultant and regional availability. The availability of services that involve the respiratory tract, i.e. throat, breathing tests and some stomach checks may have more delay than other specialties. We are also aware that all services across the UK will have varying availability which we have no control over. We’d suggest that you discuss the access in your area with your appointment healthcare provider or consultant.
No.
It’s highly likely there will be a delay to your diagnostics and treatment appointments. Your existing letter of authorisation is still valid, and you won’t have to update your authorisation.
We’ve agreed that all diagnostic and treatment authorisations from 1st January 2020 are now valid until 31st October 2021.
As lockdown restrictions ease, private hospitals are at varying stages of returning to normal and this is likely to continue for some time. If you have a delayed appointment, you should contact the hospital or provider you are due to visit for an update on when you can expect to be seen.
The vast majority of private hospitals have been working tirelessly to support the NHS and our nation during the pandemic and we acknowledge that some services have been difficult to access.
As lockdown restrictions ease, private hospitals are at varying stages of returning to normal and this is likely to continue for some time.
If you have a delayed appointment and you have not heard from the hospital or provider that you are due to visit, you should contact that provider using the details provided with your original authorisation letter.
You can contact us as you would normally.
