- It is important that you call the Healthcare team on 01543 441 630 before you attend any appointments or receive any medical treatment you think you may need to claim for. Dependent on the nature of your claim we may be able to authorise it straight away and accept your member contribution payment.
- You will need an open referral from your GP to attend a consultation. If you are in your first 2 years of membership we will also need a GP report to confirm your claim isn’t for a pre-existing condition*.
- Once authorised, Police Mutual will transfer you to one of our approved hospital networks to arrange your appointment with an appropriate consultant. We will also send you a claim form to take to your appointment to record any recommended tests or treatments, including procedure codes, discussed with your consultant.
- Once your claim form has been completed you should call 01543 441 630 and if we are able to, we will approve the recommended tests or treatment verbally over the phone and accept your member contribution payment. Treatment can then go ahead.
- If we are unable to approve the recommended tests or treatment verbally over the phone we may ask you to return the claim form to us via email to healthcare@pmas.co.uk or by post to Healthcare team, Police Mutual, Building 3, Lichfield South, Birmingham Road, Lichfield, WS14 0QP. We will then review your claim. Following review, we will call you to advise whether the recommended tests or treatment have been authorised, and if they have, to accept your member contribution payment. Treatment can then be received.
