FAQs
Is glaucoma surgery covered by private health insurance in the UK?
Most private health insurers in the UK, including Bupa, AXA, Aviva, and Vitality, typically cover medically necessary glaucoma surgeries such as laser treatments and trabeculectomy. However, coverage can vary based on your specific policy and insurer. It’s essential to check with your provider for details.
Will my insurance cover both diagnosis and treatment?
Coverage for both diagnosis and treatment depends on your insurance policy. While many policies cover the cost of glaucoma surgery, some may not cover diagnostic tests or consultations. We recommend contacting your insurer directly to confirm what aspects of your care are included.
Do I need a referral to use my insurance for glaucoma surgery?
Yes, most insurers require a referral from your GP or an optometrist before approving coverage for glaucoma surgery. This ensures that the procedure is medically necessary and aligns with your policy’s terms. It’s advisable to obtain this referral before scheduling surgery.
Can I use insurance for private glaucoma surgery if I’m already on the NHS waiting list?
Yes, you can choose to have glaucoma surgery privately even if you’re on an NHS waiting list. Many private clinics accept insurance and offer quicker access to treatment. It’s important to discuss this option with your GP and insurer to understand the process and any implications.
