UK insurance

To ensure arranging an appointment at King’s Private is as smooth as possible, we have contracts with the following major medical insurance providers:

Your UK insurance policy requires you to have a letter of referral from your GP. You need to authorise your outpatient and inpatient treatment with your insurer and before the start of treatment.

When you have an authorisation letter or number, we will arrange for your appointment or admission and the hospital costs will be invoiced directly to your insurer.

International insurance

We work with many health insurance companies throughout the world. If you have insurance, please provide the policy details when you request an appointment and bring your letter of authorisation to your appointment. Most international insurance companies require you to pay for outpatient treatment, but we can invoice them directly for day case and inpatient stays.

We have agreements with the following international insurance companies:

  • Allianz Worldwide Care
  • Bupa International
