Some health insurance policies do not, unfortunately, cover menopause.
Please check with your provider, that they cover menopause and that they cover you to be seen by a British Menopause Society accredited Menopause Specialist who sits on the GP register with the GMC, before booking the appointment. Some private companies will only cover care with a Dr. who sits of the specialist register (a hospital consultant, not a GP) so please clarify this before booking an appointment.
We are able to provide you with an invoice to claim back from your insurer, but we do not work with the insurers themselves at the moment. Lots of our patients do claim back from their insurers without a problem, but please check this is right for you before booking an appointment.
We are delighted to see that more policies are recognising the importance of menopause and offering cover – in particular WPA and Aviva both cover this service.
If your provider suggests an alternative clinician please check that they hold the BMS Menopause Specialist qualification to ensure you get the best quality holistic care.
