Louise’s quick reference is open here—no sign-in needed for provider details, codes or working tariffs. The separate Claims Desk still requires staff sign-in because it contains patient claims.

Working Bupa tariff reference
These are insurer reimbursement amounts, not patient-facing clinic prices. Check the current Bupa agreement and each authorisation before quoting or billing.
| Code | Treatment | Fee |
|---|---|---|
AA145 | Initial podiatry visit | £55 |
AA641 | Follow-on podiatry visit | £35 |
AA628 | Nail avulsion or wedge excision package, including local anaesthetic | £350 |
AA365 | Gait / biomechanical analysis — consultant referral only | £160 |
AA100 | Microwave ablation for warts and verrucae, including consultation | £91 |
Before Louise books or charges
- AA365: confirm consultant referral and specific authorisation.
- Nail surgery / Swift: confirm the exact approved codes, visit allowance and whether any follow-up can be billed separately.
- Shockwave or extras: confirm cover directly; never assume they are funded.
- Payment: authorisation is not a guarantee of full payment. Keep patient excess separate from Bupa’s approved and paid amounts.
Use the “Good for” note to choose the correct appointment or package. If unsure, check with a clinician.
Open the patient page so the patient can read what is included and what to expect.
Confirm the diary, location and price. Only send the exact verified checkout shown here.
Cliniko intake: Louise’s quick check
Three things to do in the patient form:
- Open the right form. For a new patient, choose New patient. For someone already in Cliniko, open their record and choose Edit.
- Record how they found us. Use Referral source (for marketing). If a clinician referred them, add the clinician’s name under Reception referral & cover too.
- Record how they are paying. In Reception referral & cover, choose Funding route. If it is Bupa, add the membership and current pre-authorisation numbers they give you. Leave anything unknown blank—do not guess. Then save the patient record.
For Bupa bookings: a number is not proof of cover. Check the approved treatment, visits and excess, and use the Bupa reference and protected Claims Desk to track the claim.
