Health Insurance
If you have health insurance and think that this may cover your treatment fees you should contact your insurance provider directly, prior to your first appointment. Your insurance provider will be able to tell you if your policy will cover your treatment with us. Some insurance companies require a GP or psychiatrist referral prior to funding sessions with a psychologist. If this is the case please feel free to contact us and we can help you organise this. The London Centre for Eating Disorders and Body Image can offer treatment to clients covered by Cigna, WPA and Bupa Global. If your insurance provider is not listed here, please send us an e-mail as they may still cover your treatment.
Regrettably, we are not currently able to accept AVIVA, BUPA, VITALITY and AXA.
We do require payment for an assessment 24 hours before the assessment. Once in treatment, you will be emailed an invoice 24-48 hours following each appointment which is payable upon receipt. Please note, we require a minimum of 24 hours notice to make a cancellation otherwise the full session fee will be charged. Please see a copy of our full terms and conditions here.
Payment terms are upon receipt and within a maximum 30 day period from receipt of invoice
