Health insurance & North London hospitals
All major UK health insurers cover North London hospitals — but London weighting surcharges and hospital list tiers can significantly affect what you pay out of pocket. Before booking any private appointment in North London, always:
Get a GP referral
Most insurers require an open GP referral before specialist appointments. You can use your NHS GP or a digital GP included in your policy.
Pre-authorise with your insurer
Call your insurer or use their app to get a pre-authorisation code before any appointment. Without this, claims are frequently refused. Pre-authorisation guide →
Check London surcharges
Many policies apply a London weighting surcharge — especially for HCA hospitals. Check with your insurer what your out-of-pocket cost will be before committing. London insurer coverage guide →
