Fees Schedule 2011 - where no agreement applies
There are certain services to which no national agreement applies and for which the BMA has in the past given guidance to members on what fees to charge . Following discussions with the competition authorities, within the framework of the law laid down by the Competition Act 1998, the BMA has agreed to discontinue publishing suggested fees for services which can be provided by any doctor. The BMA Fees Guidance Schedule 11 - Where no agreement applies provides suggested fees for services that are provided by the patient’s own general practitioner or other attending doctor. It also draws attention to those other areas where the association formerly suggested fees but now makes no suggestion. These fees are reviewed annually by the BMA Council on the advice of the professional fees committee.
