Discover all the ways to pay for your care – no Bupa insurance needed.
Ways to pay
No Bupa insurance needed.
Our centre is open to everyone. You don’t need Bupa health insurance to visit us, and there are several ways to pay for your treatment:
- pay for yourself (self-pay)
- use private medical insurance
- have your care paid for by your company or embassy
If you’re paying for yourself, you may not need a GP referral.

Paying for yourself (self-pay)
Self‑pay simply means covering the cost of your treatment yourself. We have a dedicated team on hand to guide you through the process and help you understand costs before you proceed.

Private medical insurance
We welcome patients with all major private medical insurers, including AXA, Aviva, Vitality, and others. Your insurer will be able to advise what’s covered in your policy.

Bupa members
If you have Bupa health insurance, you can benefit from access to streamlined referral pathways.
