I think 'officially' you can charge. However I never have done as
really I can see no difference between a private or NHS referral in
terms of admin hassle and obligation to our patients.
Also I think it would cause a great deal of animosity by patients. We
charge £10.00 for BUPA form completion but most patients now avoid this
by getting the consultant to complete this.
