Why do GPs sometimes charge for fees?

In addition to the care that the doctors give under the National Health Service they are often asked to provide other services for which a separate charge is made. These include private medical examinations for things such as HGV licences, reports for employers, solicitors, insurance companies or driving medicals. When a doctor signs a certificate or completes a report, it is a condition of remaining on the Medical Register that they only sign what they know to be true. To complete the simplest of forms, doctors may need to check the patient’s entire medical records. Carelessness or an inaccurate report can have serious consequences and therefore our fees reflect the time we feel is required to complete the following form or report.

Why do I need to pay upfront?

In the past we have completed reports and forms before payment has been made but there have been many occasions when the GP has completed the work but the payment has not been made. We now have a policy where payment must be made in advance.
