Appointments & Fees

You do not need a referral from a GP to see an osteopath. The majority of osteopaths work in private practice so you may choose to approach a practitioner directly and pay for treatment. Typically three or four treatment sessions are needed, though this may vary according to the severity of the problem.

At this clinic current charges are;
First consultation & treatment – 1 hour £40.00
Subsequent treatments – 30 minutes £35.00

It may be possible to claim for a course of osteopathic treatment if you have private health insurance policy. You need to check with your insurance provider to confirm the available level of cover and to find out whether you require a referral from a GP or specialist. All insurance companies have help lines to explain your benefits and methods of claiming.

Health Insurance Payment Terms

Like most osteopaths we do not operate ‘direct settlement procedures’ with any insurance company (in spite of what they might tell you over the phone). This basically means we are not privy to your particular policy and they do not guarantee to pay us for the treatment we provide.
Because of this, it is our policy that all accounts are settled directly by you after each consultation and treatment. We provide you with a comprehensive written receipt which you can then use to claim back the cost of the treatment from your insurer, subject to your individual policies terms, conditions and excesses.
We strongly advise you to seek advice from your insurance company prior to committing to a course of treatment with us.
