Direct Insurance Claims |

Acorn House does not make a charge for completing the insurance form and submitting the medical records to the insurance company. Direct insurance claims are when Acorn House holds the debt of the amount outstanding and claims directly from your insurance company. Because direct claims require an increased amount of administration by our staff and result in a delay of payment of our fees, we do charge clients an administration fee of £45 for processing a direct insurance claim. |

We accept cash, credit and debit cards, we do not accept American Express. We regret that since the cheque guarantee scheme has closed, we are no longer able to accept cheques. We can take payment over the phone with a debit or credit card, or you can use our online payment portal.
Please be reminded that payment is required at the time of treatment.
If your account is left outstanding without prior arrangement with the Practice Manager, an administration fee of 20% of the total will be added to your invoice.
Failure to settle outstanding accounts within a reasonable time will result in referral to a debt collection agency and legal proceedings which will result in a County Court summons.
Charity vouchers from Cats Protection or RSPCA can help towards the cost of neutering or large bills. This help is completely discretionary and up to the charity, not Acorn House.
Reception can provide charity telephone contacts for you.
