Medical Treatment

Initial consultation

Support can be offered towards the cost of an initial medical consultation to define a health need and suggested treatment. The applicant should be advised to firstly see their GP and determine the shortest wait for a consultation via the NHS electronic referral process. Support can be provided if the waiting list for an NHS consultation exceeds 12 weeks.

Support towards the cost of surgery

Support can be offered towards the cost of NICE approved operations, treatments and procedures, that are available on the NHS.

All applicants must be on an NHS waiting list for treatment, and facing a wait that surpasses 18 weeks.

Before enquiring about support

We want to ensure that we can give you an early indication of your likelihood to qualify for support so we will ask you for information about your household income and capital before we begin the application process with you. We only need you to provide a rough indication of these figures so please have them to hand when you contact us to make an application over the phone.

Apply

If you believe you will need an initial consultation, or have a provisional or confirmed surgery date, please contact our enquiries team by telephone on 0800 035 60 90 or via email at help@mcf.org.uk
