New private appointments are £130.00 for a standard 30 minute consultation. Longer appointments are available on request.
All diagnostic investigations, tests and any treatment or procedures will be at an additional cost, with pricing available at your appointment.
Am I covered by my Private Medical Insurance?
GP appointments are unlikely to be covered by your private medical insurance, further tests, investigations and onward referrals following on from your initial GP appointment may be covered, you would need to speak with your insurance company to confirm this.
What happens if i need to be referred to a consultant or I require further tests?
If you need to be referred to a consultant or require further investigations (blood tests, X-rays, ultrasound or MRI scan) you are not obliged to use The Lincoln Hospital services.
Should you wish to continue your care under your NHS GP, with your consent, a letter will be sent to them outlining our recommendations for any further investigations or referral to a consultant of their choice.
If you choose to continue your treatment at The Lincoln Hospital, in most cases investigations can be carried out either on that day or within 72 hours, and you can usually see a consultant within a few days of your appointment.
