Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a private neurologist?
No, you can book directly with a private neurologist in Yorkshire without a GP referral. However, some insurance policies require a referral letter for coverage, and having one helps the consultant understand your medical history.
What should I bring to my neurology appointment?
Bring a list of current medications, any previous scan results or medical reports, details of your symptoms (including frequency and triggers), and any questions you want to ask. If you have memory concerns, bringing a family member can be helpful.
How long until I get MRI results?
Private MRI scans are typically reported within 48-72 hours. Your consultant will discuss the results with you at a follow-up appointment or via telephone consultation.
Is Botox for migraines covered by insurance?
Most private health insurance policies cover Botox treatment for chronic migraine when specific criteria are met (typically 15+ headache days per month). Your neurologist can advise on eligibility.
Can a private neurologist prescribe medication?
Yes, private neurologists can prescribe both NHS and private prescriptions for neurological conditions. They can also adjust existing medication regimes and provide specialist drug monitoring.
