Health declaration form

[gazanne]

I picked up my form from the docters and nearly died on the spot when she gave me the bill £112. Has anyone else had to pay as much as this. xxx

[wendy bird]

Hi yes mine was for £72, couldn't believe it!!! Shocking. xx

[sweets]

thats disgusting! i would ask them how they justify charging that much to fill out a form that prob takes them 5 minutes and see if they will lower the charge. i would complain to the practice manager.


mine only cost £10.

[keeks]

That is shocking! Poor you, you must have nearly fainted! I agree with sweets, I would ask what is the actual cost for them and how they justify the charge. Perhaps also inform them many surgeries only charge £10-20. Mine was £15, I was surprised it was so cheap having read some of the posts here.

Perhaps you could talk to the FIS people and ask if there is any chance to get some funding for it.

Good luck!

WOW!:eek: that's scarey - i don't know how much mine is going to be yet and i have two of them as hubby is applying to be my assistant!

thought it was bad enough that they said it could be up to 3 weeks for them to do it!

[green puppy]

That's an outragous amount! Mine was £25 and I thought that was bad enough, as others have said complain and get it lowered.

[coffee-time]

mine was £82.50 and i thought that was bad enough!! def see if you can get it reduced, i think they charge ridiculous amounts because they know you have to have it and its not as if you can shop around else where!! very crafty!!

[Hebs]

yes can't remember how much it was now

mark diving medical form cost me £15...... dr wrote "FIT AND WELL" thats it!! so £5 per word!!

i'm in the wrong job :panic:

[nb73]

that is shocking, i have asked my doctors and was told it's between £15 - £25 depending how much time the doctor needs to spend filling it out x

[Tribe_mummy]

:censored: blimey that's an extortinate amount! I thought mine was bad at £47!!

[Alibali]

Mine was free:D

[Playmate]

I had to get one when I re registered 5 years ago and it cost £70 then!

I have just payed £15 for a note to say my heart murmor doesn't stop me from exercising , so I can join the gym. Think i will photocopy letter so I don't have to pay for another one :D

[beerheaven]

That is really taking the :censored: !

Mine was £60 about 5 years ago. I complained at the time to the practise manager who told me that was the amount recommended by the BMC. I pointed out that £60 for a mere 5 minutes work was daylight robbery!!

If I was you I would talk to the practise manager and see if you can negoatiate a lower fee. Maybe telephone some other local surgeries for their fees beforehand to help you!

Best of luck!!

:panic: Mine cost £96.35, and I even questioned it and was told it was correct.

:rolleyes:
My friend who did her's at the same time, using the Doctors in the next street paid £10 :angry:

I questioned it queried it, and was made to pay it !:censored:
To add insult to injury, my friend gave up after 5 months :eek: :eek:

[mr man]

i was quite lucky , was told it cost around £20 and it wold be ready week later. picked it up and went to pay, but receptionist went to ask doctor something, i was worried. turned out that i didnt need to pay. woo hoo.

i'd enquire more, extortionate that is.
fingers crossed they reduce the fee.

[Dizzy Ducklings]

Mines was £15 aswell :o

[naomiesian]

Its daylight robbery :angry: Mine cost £65.00, should have been £96.00 but receptionist misquoted me and I argued when they tried to charge me full price, I asked how they justify charging so much and was told very abruptly ` The doctor doesn`t have to do this for you you know!!!
