CMP Private Fees September 2023

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

Whenever possible, we try to complete such forms and reports within four weeks of receipt. Sometimes this can take a little longer – the relevant GP might be away on holiday for example. The GPs have to find time to complete this sort of paperwork in amongst all their other duties and it can take time to read through a patient’s set of notes in order to answer the questions raised.

Although it may seem that a form requires no more than a doctor’s signature, it is a condition of remaining on the Medical Register that they only sign what they know to be true. In order to complete even the simplest of forms, therefore, the doctor might have to check the patient’s entire medical record. Carelessness or an inaccurate report can have serious consequences for the doctor with the General Medical Council or even the Police. The charge reflects either the time required to check information and/or the degree of responsibility signing the paperwork entails. If you require a form completed urgently (e.g. within 48 hours) then this will usually cost more.

In most cases, we can inform you of the likely charge due when you ask for the paperwork to be filled in. Remember though that not all documents need a doctor’s signature and you may be able to ask another person in a position of trust to sign such documents.

Please note that our practice do not provide housing letters for patients. For help with housing applications you should go to CAB for assistance. If your housing provider want more information from us regarding your medical situation, they will to write to us with your consent and there is a charge for this as it is not an NHS service.
