When it comes to taking out private health insurance, please be aware that Vitality’s requirements may differ from other insurance providers. With that in mind, you’ll need to ensure these parameters are met before you can progress with your claim and be approved for treatment.

How it works

The step-by-step guide below takes you through the process of accessing Practice Plus Group private healthcare using your Vitality insurance policy.

Contact your health insurance provider

First, you’ll need to get in touch with Vitality. They’ll give you an authorisation code which will allow you to proceed to booking an initial consultation with us.

Choose a registered consultant

Once you’ve been in touch with Vitality, they’ll be able to send you a list of approved specialists to carry out treatment for your specific issue. Choosing your consultant is a big decision so remember to take your time. You may wish to do your own research around the listed consultants, making sure you choose the right one for you.

Book an initial consultation

Having chosen a consultant, the next step is to get in touch with us. Our friendly patient advisors will get you booked in for an initial consultation at a time that suits you.   

Remember, your pre-surgery consultation is an opportunity to learn more about your specific health issue. Don’t be reluctant to speak up and ask your consultant plenty of questions about what’s to come. Depending on your condition, further diagnostic tests may be needed to arrive at a diagnosis.

Book your procedure

Should treatment be needed, we’ll provide you with a procedure code (also called a CCSD code). You’ll need to give this to your insurer – in this case, Vitality – who will then be able to use this to help confirm your insurance cover.

How payment works

Please ensure that you have authorised your treatment directly with Vitality. As an insured patient, you’ll need to have your authorisation code available for each step of your treatment.

Vitality will be able to advise you of any fees or excess payments you may be liable for. These may include:

• excess payments 
• cost-share agreements 
• limits on outpatient consultations 
• diagnostic tests 
• any policy restrictions that could financially affect you. 

To confirm whether you need to pay any excesses, clarify the limitations and liabilities on your policy, you’ll need to get in touch with Vitality directly.
