Invoices submitted to private medical insurance companies do not give details of medical conditions, but do include any procedures carried out. In the event that an invoice remains unpaid, data may be shared with other professionals such as debt collection agencies, but will not include medical details. 

We will not use information for marketing purposes. 

In line with GMC guidance, patient data may be shared with other professionals if it is necessary for the safety or wellbeing of the individual or others.
