You will receive an invoice via email from Bright Futures Health or Patient Billing (our payment partners) so that you can pay by BACS or online. Please pay within 48 hours of the appointment. If you have any payment queries, please call our payments subsidiary Bright Futures Billing on 020 8163 5163 or email them on billing@brightfutures.health.
At or following your child’s appointment, your child may need specific tests (throat or skin swabs, blood tests, x-rays, audiology appointments), or you may receive treatments such as vaccinations.
The fees for these tests and treatments are not included in the consultation fees.
The fees for these tests or treatments will be charged to you separately by the hospital or diagnostic centre concerned and not by us at Bright Futures. Any queries about these fees and treatments should be addressed to the hospital or diagnostic clinic directly.
Bright Futures Health requires completion of the Bright Futures Health registration form. On this form it is necessary to indicate why you want your child to see one of our doctors. This is so we can tailor your baby or child’s care prior to the appointment. We cannot confirm an appointment until the registration form details have been completed.
Bright Futures Health does not require a referral from your GP, but some insurance companies require a referral or have additional requirements – please check with your insurer.
The Bright Futures Health platform has ensured that independent paediatricians on the platform are accredited with the insurance providers listed below:-
Your insurance company may authorise an appointment even if they are not listed above, but you need to check before you attend the appointment
Before an appointment, please discuss any planned face-to-face, video conference or teleconference appointment with your insurance company, ensuring you have an up-to-date authorisation number and pre-authorisation details.
Some UK-based insurance providers do not cover our Well-Child medicals or vaccinations. As a result, we do not offer insurance covered Well-Baby or Well-Child or vaccination appointments for clients insured by these insurance providers.
These providers operate under a model where patients visit a doctor when they are unwell or have a specific problem. They typically offer a package that includes an initial appointment, simple diagnostic tests, and a follow-up appointment. We are happy to continue seeing clients insured by insurance providers who operate under this model. However, if your child requires multiple follow-up appointments or additional high-cost diagnostic tests we need new authorisation or written confirmation that your insurer will cover your child’s care beyond the first follow-up appointment. This prevents you from finding yourself liable for any unexpected invoices for uncovered care.
We can offer Well-Child and vaccination appointments on a self-pay basis for clients with insurance policies from insurance providers who do not cover these appointments.
For all insured clients, please verify regularly with your insurance provider that any services provided by Bright Futures Health are authorised, especially if your child’s care extends beyond the standard model after the first follow-up appointment. If your insurer does not reimburse Bright Futures Health for our services, you will be responsible for the full self-pay fee.
Most insurers use an excess system so it is likely that your insurer will expect you to pay a contribution to the initial appointment. They will ask Bright Futures Billing to collect this on their behalf. We require this to be paid before a follow up appointment can be confirmed.
All Bright Futures Health billing via insurance companies is looked after by Bright Futures Billing (our payments subsidiary), who will invoice your insurance company directly, and advise you of any excess payments accordingly.
If you have any payment queries, please call Patient Billing on 020 8163 5163 or billing@brightfutures.health. Please do not contact our enquiries email with billing queries.
If you have further questions about payment, please do not hesitate to contact Bright Futures Health by email on billing@brightfutures.health or telephone 020 8163 5163. Leave a message and you will be called back, the office is open on weekdays 10-3. Out of hours we can send you a booking link or take a message.
