If you’re considering private cancer care, you can speak to your GP or a consultant about a referral – you’ll just need to ask for HCA UK. They can provide a referral letter, which you’ll bring with you when you come for a consultation. 

You can choose a preferred consultant to lead your care throughout treatment. If you aren’t sure which consultant you need to see, we can help you find the right specialist for your diagnosis. Either way, you can be sure your care is being led by a highly experienced consultant who specialises in your type of cancer.

If you have private medical insurance (PMI), your insurer will usually need to approve or pre-authorise your consultation or treatment beforehand. This is normally a straightforward process. Simply contact your insurer with your referral details, and they’ll confirm what’s covered under your policy.
