Understanding Our Private GP Service

The Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital offers a dedicated private GP service that is tailored to your health needs. We understand that healthcare needs are personal and unique. That’s why we offer a private GP service that’s designed to provide you with convenience, flexibility, and exceptional care, all on your terms. 

Whether you’re new to private healthcare or simply exploring your options, this guide will address some of the most common questions and concerns about our private GP services, helping you make an informed decision about your health. We will help you understand our services, how to access them, and what to expect.

Do I Need Health Insurance for a Private GP? 

One of the most frequently asked questions is whether you need health insurance to see a private GP. The answer is simple: No, you don’t need health insurance. We believe in making healthcare as accessible as possible, which is why our private GP service operates on a straightforward self-pay basis. This means you can access our expert care without worrying about dealing with insurance companies, paperwork, or restrictive coverage.

Our consultations start at just £125, and we provide transparent pricing for additional services such as investigations or follow-ups. While private prescriptions are provided to you free of charge, please note that pharmacies will charge their own dispensing fees for private prescriptions.

This approach offers simplicity and flexibility, ensuring that you have access to the care you need, when you need it, without the complications that come with traditional insurance-based systems.
