PATIENTS WITH PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE 

 

​

​

Dr Robertson can often see you without a GP referral. But before booking, please check details with your insurer and whether a GP referral letter is required.

 

We accept referrals for consultations from all the major insurance companies.

Costs may vary according to different insurance company agreement and facility recognition.

 

We are still working hard to expand our connection to medical insurers, but it does take time to negotiate and add formal agreements  for what we call "facility recognition" to the service. 

 

So whilst we can do all the treatments shown on the site, injection treatments and some physio under some insurers cover is still under-negotiation.  Hence some insurer referrals are limited to "consultation +/- diagnostic ultrasound scan" as of January 2022.

 

Please enquire if not sure. In the short term indeed, it may be less costly for some patients to self pay - depending on your excess.

MEDICAL PROCEDURES & INJECTION TREATMENTS

​

For the first visit/initial consultation, Dr Robertson normally prefers to see patients face to face, not least so that a thorough examination can take place. However, initial assessments may be aappropriate by video on request (and on a case-by-case basis, if the physician feels this is a safe and effective option for you the patient). This has become a more popular option for some patients to consider, especially since the Coronoavirus pandemic.

​

​

​

• Initial Consult (diagnostic US scan not needed):          185   (up to 50 minutes as required):

• Initial Consult (diagnostic scan included/required**): 245   (up to 50 minutes as required):

• Routine-Follow Up (face to face) :                 115   (face to face up to 30 minutes).

• Short-Telephone/Video Follow Up:               90    (up to 20 minutes).​​; such "remote"  may suite certain patients better, especially those living further way (saving on time and travel costs).                                ​​

 

 **DIAGNOSTIC SKELETAL ULTRASOUND  SCAN - when the consultant recommends a skeletal ultrasound examination is neceesary to help establish a diagnosis and treatment plan,
