Tired of NHS Waiting Lists? Access German Medical Care in Weeks, Not Years

Expert guide for UK patients — bypass NHS waiting lists, access world-class German specialists, and get help with private insurance reimbursement documentation.

Private Insurance & NHS Documentation — I Help You Claim Back Costs

I assist UK patients with obtaining itemised invoices (Rechnung) from German hospitals in English, preparing documentation for private insurance claims (Bupa, AXA, Aviva, Cigna), and compiling all paperwork required for reimbursement. For NHS-funded patients, I provide documentation for NHS overseas treatment applications.

FAQ for UK Patients

Will my private UK insurance (Bupa/AXA/Aviva) cover treatment in Germany? +
Most private UK insurance plans cover treatment in Germany. I help coordinate with your insurance company and provide all necessary documentation — including itemised invoices in English, medical reports, and specialist credentials — for reimbursement. Always check your specific policy terms before proceeding.
Can I get NHS funding for treatment in Germany? +
In exceptional circumstances, the NHS can fund treatment abroad via the S2 route (for treatments not available in the UK) or via Individual Funding Requests. I can provide documentation to support such applications. However, most UK patients use private insurance or self-pay (saving 40–50% vs. UK private prices).
How do I get my NHS medical records sent to Germany? +
You can request your medical records from your GP or hospital under the Data Protection Act. I guide you through exactly what documents are needed and how to send them securely. Most records can be sent digitally. I then prepare a comprehensive medical summary for the German specialist.
Can I get follow-up care back in the UK after treatment in Germany? +
Yes. I provide a comprehensive treatment summary in English that your UK GP can use for follow-up care. Telemedicine follow-up with your German specialist is available for 6–12 months. Your UK GP can manage routine post-operative care based on the German treatment plan.
