Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges.
What is covered by the NHS and what is not?
The Government’s contract with GPs covers medical services to NHS patients. Sometime the only reason that a GP is asked to provide information is because they hold a position of trust in the community, or because an insurance company wants to be sure that the information provided to them is true and correct.
Example chargeable services include:
Insurance claim forms
Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
Private sick notes
Vaccination certificates
Examples of Non-NHS services which GPs can charge other institutions:
Certain reports for the DSS / Benefits Agency
Examinations for Local Authority / Ofsted Reports
I only need a doctor’s signature!
When a doctor signs a certificate or report, it is a condition of the Medical Register that they only sign what they know to be true, in order to complete even the simplest of forms, the doctor might have to read a patient’s entire medical record.
