Receiving Treatment and Making A Claim On Health Insurance

Most health providers are very similar in the UK with their claims process. After visiting your GP they will refer you to a specialist for consultation or private treatment. Upon doing this you need to call your provider to check that the treatment you are about to claim for is eligible under the benefit of your policy. It is best to have ready with you the specialist or group practice name, any hospital name and admission dates and a procedure code if you are having a surgical procedure. The provider will then check that you are eligible to have the specialists fees paid in full and confirm which hospitals, day-patient units and scanning centers are covered. After this most will send a partially completed claim form to you. On receiving this you should complete your section of the claim form when you fist go for treatment and ask the specialist to complete it and return to the provider. If you are required to ask your GP to sign the form they may ask for a charge that normally will not be refunded by the provider.
