I need to get what’s called an open referral letter from my gp tomorrow morning for my daughter to see a paediatrician privately. Spoke to the insurers- AXA about it today, I was very emotional and while I took down lots of info about what I needed to get my GP to do, I stupidly didn’t ask if the open referral needs to be addressed to my insurer AXA or to the hospital that I want my daughter to be referred to? I’ve googled and googled this but all I can find is an open referral form that every other private health insurance company seems to have available apart from AXA. There’s an example from BUPA that I can take to show my GP but that doesn’t help because BUPA does both insurance and hospitals. If anyone could shed some light on open referrals I would be grateful. The appointment is first thing and my GP suregery seems to be slightly difficult/clueless about referrals based on my past experience. Thanks
