Has anyone managed to claim a hysteroscopy on Private medical?

[Daisy-Delilah]

Hey lovely ladies,

I hope everyone is ok xxx

Following a recent failed FET 😢 I discussed with my consultant whether I should have another hysteroscopy.

The consultant said my medical insurance provider may cover it as long as it’s not for fertility reasons. E.g. that my doctor thinks I might have scar tissue.

Has anyone managed to successfully claim for a hysteroscopy on medical insurance and on what basis?

Thank you xxx

Hi Daisy,

I recently had one covered by Bupa, I just said it was related to my periods rather than IVF. I didn’t get many questions from them tbh xx

Hello, I recently had a hysteroscopy covered by AXA health insurance.

It was covered because I had a small fibroid so my GP agreed to write me a referral letter. The gynaecologist I was referred to classified my treatment as general gynaecology rather than fertility specific, meaning it was covered by AXA.

I expect once you can get that referral from a GP then a sympathetic gynaecologist will want to help or treat you. Best of luck x

Thanks so much for your reply. I have managed to get a referral! 👍🏻 xxx

Great! The gynaecologist I saw was really sympathetic and supportive of the private health insurance claim, so fingers crossed yours will be! My process was also really quick - appt was only two weeks after the referral x
