Many of our patients first come to Lambert Medical Practice through their WPA health insurance — usually for physiotherapy after a sports injury or musculoskeletal complaint. What many don't realise is that Lambert is a CQC-registered private medical practice offering a full range of healthcare services, most of which can be accessed with or without insurance cover.
This guide explains what's available to WPA policyholders at our Surbiton clinic, how to check what your policy covers, and how to access services that may not be included in your plan.
What WPA Health Insurance Covers at Lambert Medical
WPA (Western Provident Association) is one of the UK's leading health insurance providers, and Lambert Medical is a recognised private healthcare provider. The specific services covered under your WPA policy depend on the plan level and any pre-authorisation requirements. Here's a general guide — but always confirm with WPA before booking if you intend to claim.
✅ Commonly Covered
- Physiotherapy (most policies)
- Specialist consultations (with referral)
- Diagnostics including blood tests (with referral)
- Minor procedures (policy-dependent)
- Mental health support (many plans)
⚠️ Check Your Policy
- GP consultations (not all policies)
- Dermatology assessments
- Gynaecology consultations
- Hormone testing and monitoring
- Preventative health checks
Services Available at Lambert Medical — With or Without Insurance
Even if your WPA plan doesn't cover a particular service, all of the following are available as self-pay at our Surbiton clinic. Many patients find it more convenient to access everything in one place rather than waiting for NHS referrals.
Private GP
Same-week appointments with one of our GPs. Prescriptions, referrals, sick notes, and ongoing care — no waiting lists.
Blood Tests & Diagnostics
300+ biomarkers, results within 24 hours, GP-interpreted. Fatigue panels, hormones, heart health, Alzheimer's risk and more.

Mole checks, skin lesion assessment and removal, acne, eczema, and more. Seen by Dr Nancy Abdelrahman, a doctor with specialist interest in dermatology.
