If you hold private medical insurance, many of our services including consultations, advanced diagnostic investigations and surgical procedures, you may be eligible for cover, provided prior authorisation is obtained from your insurer.
The extent of cover can vary considerably depending on your individual policy and provider, so we recommend confirming the details of your entitlement directly with your insurer before attending your appointment. It is also important to note that while most insurers recognise cataract and medically-necessary procedures, consultations and treatments relating solely to refractive surgery (such as LASIK, SMILE, or lens exchange for vision correction) are generally excluded from standard policies.

before your consultation
It’s always best to check with your healthcare insurance provider that they will cover
your fees and provide a pre-authorisation code for you.
Navigating health insurance for eye care can feel complex, as cover varies between providers and policies. At My-iClinic, we support patients in understanding exactly what their insurance entitles them to. Many policies will contribute towards consultations, diagnostic investigations, and cataract or medically-necessary procedures, while lifestyle-driven refractive treatments such as LASIK, SMILE, or PRESBYOND are usually excluded. By reviewing your policy in advance and providing pre-authorisation where required, our team helps ensure you can maximise the benefits of your cover and avoid unexpected costs.
