Virtual consultation does not replace a face-to-face consultation, however during the current COVID-19 pandemic we offer more virtual consultations to ensure social distancing. If you have joined one our weight management plan, it is important that you follow the instructions and engage on a regular basis. Outcomes will depend on your interaction with our experts and engagement with the plan. This is NOT an emergency service. In case of any medical emergency you should seek urgent help with your doctor or go to the nearest Accident and Emergency department.

Any information shared about your personal self during the consultation will be kept as strictly confidential.

The weight management plan/package is an exclusive plan/package, which is personalised to your needs only. The fee for the plan/package does not include daily provision of food, cover for any medical emergencies or the treatment of any acute medical problems. The fee will also not cover any other cost of any other medications (other than agreed at the start of the plan) or investigations if required. You will be required to pay the fee upfront in full before the start of the plan. Your outcomes depend on your engagement in the plan. The results will vary from person to person.
3.6 Billing & Payments
Our clinic also has agreements with most insurance companies enabling your accounts to be settled directly with us. Invoices are sent to your insurer for direct payment; no copy will be sent to you. The clinic is not obliged to process invoices from other hospitals. Your insurance company will usually notify you in writing that your claim is being settled. They will also inform you of any shortfalls you may have incurred and explain the reasons for them. It is advisable in these events to contact our accounts department for advice. Any excess payments should be made directly to us. If there is an excess in the policy, this will be advised to you after we have been paid by insurers and you are then responsible for the repayment of any such excess.
