FAQs

Can I pay for treatment on the day of my appointment at Harley Street Health Centre?

You're expected to settle any fees at reception on the day of your appointment. Accepted payment methods include debit/credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and cash. If your insurer doesn’t fully cover the visit, or if pre-authorisation hasn't been obtained, you will be required to pay any outstanding balance at the time of your appointment.

Does the medical certificate disclose my diagnosis?

Never. Medical certificates usually confirm fitness or unfitness for work and the duration of leave only. Specific diagnoses are not disclosed unless the employee provides consent.

Can an employer reject a medical certificate?

An employer may question or reject a certificate if it does not meet legal or company requirements, appears incomplete, or is issued by an unauthorised provider. That is why it is so important to book your medical with a licensed and qualified medical practitioner to ensure you receive a valid certificate.

What happens if an employee is deemed fit to work?

If the practitioner determines the employee is fit for work, a medical certificate may indicate no medical grounds for sick leave, and the employee may be advised to return to work.

How soon should a sick leave verification appointment be booked?

Employees should book the appointment as soon as possible after becoming unwell or when aware that verification will be required.
