Latest: Leaflet on The Northern Police Healthcare Scheme
The Northern Police Healthcare Scheme - established in 1989 - is a self-financing scheme set up under a Trust Deed to provide private medical advice and treatment to subscribing members and their dependants.
The main objective of the scheme is to make the advantages of private medical care available to members at a reasonable cost, which equates to less than half the price of most other schemes. The scheme also includes an alternative cash benefit for NHS treatment (currently £60 per night) and all benefits are payable at the Trustees' discretion.
Subscriptions
(Payable by payroll deduction and subject to increase at the Trustees' discretion)
Making a Claim
Any member wishing to make a claim under the Scheme must initially obtain a Claim Form from the Federation Office.
Membership subscriptions automatically cover your initial appointment with a Consultant without prior approval. Any investigations, tests, scans or treatment during or subsequent to the initial consultation must be referred to the administrator at Northumbria Police Federation for prior approval. You should receive notification within a few days as to whether you are able to go ahead with treatment.
If urgent treatment is required at the consultation, please arrange for the Consultant to contact Northumbria Police Federation while you are there for prior approval:-
