We Can See Medicash Policy Holders

What do I need to know?

If you hold a Medicash health cash plan and your policy includes GP cover, you can book a private GP appointment at SLM GP. Medicash is one of the UK's leading health cash plan providers, and many of their individual and employer plans include a GP benefit that allows you to claim back the cost of a private GP consultation. If that benefit is part of your plan, SLM GP can see you.

The key point is to check your specific policy before you book. Not every Medicash plan includes GP cover as standard — it depends on the level of plan you or your employer has chosen. Once you have confirmed that GP consultations are included, the process is straightforward.

How does it work in practice?

Medicash operates as a health cash plan rather than traditional private medical insurance. That means you pay for your appointment at the time of attendance and then reclaim the cost from Medicash afterwards, up to the annual limit specified in your policy.

At SLM GP, the process is simple. You book your appointment, attend your consultation with one of our experienced GPs, and we provide you with a clear, itemised receipt. You then submit that receipt to Medicash — either through the My Medicash App or their online claims facility — and Medicash reimburses you directly, usually promptly once the claim is processed.

There is no need for pre-authorisation in most cases. You do not need to wait for approval before booking. If your policy includes GP cover, you can arrange an appointment at a time that suits you and sort the claim afterwards.

Does my Medicash plan include GP cover?

This is the most important thing to check. Medicash offers a range of plans for individuals and employers, and the benefits included vary between plans. GP cover is available on many Medicash policies, but it is not included on every plan.

To find out whether your plan includes GP cover, you can:

Log in to the My Medicash App and check your benefits
Review your policy documents
Contact Medicash directly on 0151 702 0265
Visit medicash.org/customer-service and explore your benefits
If GP consultations are listed as a covered benefit, you are good to book. Your policy documents will also show the annual claiming limit for that category, so you know what you can reclaim.

What about employer Medicash plans?

Many people hold Medicash cover through their employer as part of a workplace benefits package. The level of cover varies depending on what the employer has chosen for their workforce. Some employer plans include GP cover; others focus on dental, optical, and physiotherapy benefits.

If you are not sure what your employer plan includes, the My Medicash App is the quickest way to check. Alternatively, your HR team or the Medicash customer service team can confirm what is covered under your specific plan.

What does a private GP appointment at SLM GP include?

At SLM GP, appointments are with experienced, fully qualified GPs who take the time to properly assess your concerns. We offer same-day, evening and weekend appointments where availability allows, so you are not restricted to standard NHS hours.

A consultation at SLM GP can cover a wide range of needs — new illnesses, persistent symptoms, infections, repeat prescriptions, referral letters, sick notes, and specialist referrals where appropriate. We provide clear, itemised receipts that are suitable for Medicash claims.

If your appointment leads to a prescription, blood test, or onward referral, it is worth checking your policy to see how those are treated. Some Medicash plans cover these under separate benefit categories, each with their own annual limit. The consultation itself and any additional services may be claimed separately.

What paperwork will I need?

For a Medicash claim, you will typically need:

An itemised receipt showing the date, amount paid, and type of service
Proof of payment
Your Medicash policy or membership number
SLM GP provides clear documentation following every appointment, making the claims process as simple as possible. Claims can be submitted quickly through the My Medicash App or online portal.

Can I book a same-day appointment as a Medicash policy holder?

Yes. Your Medicash policy does not affect how or when you book. If we have availability for a same-day, evening or weekend appointment, you can book in the same way as any other patient. The only difference is that you pay at the time of the appointment and then reclaim the cost from Medicash afterwards.

For many patients, this is exactly the kind of access a Medicash plan is designed to support. Rather than waiting days for a GP slot, you can be seen promptly, get the assessment you need, and submit your claim at a time that is convenient.
