Question 1

Is The Medical Skin Clinic a recognised provider for Aviva?

Accepted Answer

The clinic works with Aviva pathways, but whether a particular dermatology consultation, lesion assessment or procedure is covered depends on your policy, named clinician and Aviva pre-authorisation. Confirm this before booking.

Question 2

Can I use my WPA policy at The Medical Skin Clinic?

Accepted Answer

The clinic works with WPA pathways. Ask WPA whether the specific clinician and medically necessary service are eligible under your policy, and obtain any referral and pre-authorisation before booking.

Question 3

What services are covered by Aviva and WPA at The Medical Skin Clinic?

Accepted Answer

Medically necessary consultations, skin lesion checks and minor surgery may be covered if the specific clinician and service are eligible under your policy and authorised in advance. Cosmetic treatments are self-funded.

Question 4

Do I need a GP referral to use my health insurance for dermatology in Newmarket?

Accepted Answer

Most insurers, including Aviva and WPA, require a GP referral before authorising specialist dermatology. Your NHS GP can provide this, or our private GP service can assess you and refer where clinically appropriate.

Question 5

What if my insurance policy has an excess or shortfall?

Any excess or shortfall under your policy is payable by you directly to the clinic. We are always transparent about fees before treatment begins.
