Can our employees outside London use this benefit?

Yes. While our 11 clinics are in London, video appointments are available for any employee, anywhere in the UK. You can enable clinic appointments, video appointments, or both when setting up your account, depending on where your team is based.

Is there a contract, commitment or minimum team size?

No. No contract, no minimum spend, no notice period, and no minimum or maximum team size — set up an account for one employee or hundreds. You pay only for the appointments your team books, and you can pause or stop the benefit whenever you choose. If you stop, just remove employees from your account — there's nothing to cancel.

How much does an appointment cost?

GP appointments start from £65 for a 15-minute video consultation and £75 for a 15-minute clinic appointment on weekdays, with longer (25-minute) and weekend appointments priced higher. Full current prices are at doctap.co.uk/prices. Your company is charged the standard appointment fee minus any employee contribution you've set, and only when an appointment is actually booked. No setup fees, platform fees, or charges for unused allowances.

What does the private healthcare cover?

Your team's benefit covers standard GP appointments — diagnosis and treatment, prescriptions, referrals, medical letters, sick notes, dermoscopy, and follow-up care — delivered by GMC-registered, UK-trained GPs. DocTap also offers a wider range of services including health screens, mental health counselling, blood tests, sexual health services and minor procedures. These can be added to your benefit on request — get in touch at corporate@doctap.co.uk and we'll tailor the offering around what your team actually needs.

The losses that compound

The hidden cost of sickness absence for small business

Sickness absence is a constant for any business, and the impact on small teams is disproportionately large. Much of it traces back to issues that quick GP access can resolve in a single visit.

148.8 million days: Working days lost to sickness in the UK in 2025 — equivalent to one full year of work for over 600,000 people.

4.4 days per worker: The average UK worker loses 4.4 working days a year to sickness or injury. For a 15-person team, that's 66 working days a year.

30.4% from minor illness: Minor illnesses are the most common cause of sickness absence. Most can be resolved with a single same-day GP appointment.

4× higher: Workers with long-term health conditions have a sickness absence rate four times higher — making early healthcare access & diagnostics especially valuable.

Side by side

Why traditional health benefits weren't built for small businesses

Most private medical insurance is built around large companies — full hospital cover, annual premiums, contract lock-in. DocTap is a different shape of benefit: pay-as-you-go GP care for small businesses, with no contracts and no premiums for cover that may never be used. Here's how the two compare.

Traditional private medical insurance

Pricing : Per-employee monthly premiums of £35–£100+ (£420–£1,200+ per year), paid whether the benefit is used or not. Premiums vary by employee age, team location and — for some providers — engagement with wellness programmes
Annual cost predictability : Premium increases at each renewal, often above inflation. Renewal negotiations every year
Commitment : Annual contracts with notice periods and obligations that run to the next renewal — even if the benefit isn't being used
Cover and flexibility : Built around hospital cover, specialist referrals and elective treatment — areas most teams rarely need. Off-the-shelf SME packages bundle in extras (cancer cover, mental health, premium hospital lists) whether the team needs them or not
Setup process : Broker calls, scheme design, hospital network selection, procurement and onboarding — typically weeks or months to launch
Day-to-day admin : Adding employees, removing leavers and managing claims usually go through the broker
Team size fit : Designed around larger workforces — minimum policy values, broker fees and bundled extras make per-employee costs disproportionately high for small teams

DocTap for small business

Pricing : Pay only when an employee books — from £65 (video) or £75 (clinic) per GP appointment, at DocTap's standard patient rates. Cost scales with bookings, not demographics, location or app engagement
Annual cost predictability : No renewals and no contracts — so no annual renegotiation. Companies pay against their set allowance and rules, which can be adjusted at any time as the team or budget changes
Commitment : No contract and no notice period. Companies only pay when employees book an appointment, so removing employees from the account ends any further spend straight away
Cover and flexibility : Day-to-day GP care: diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, referrals, sick notes and medical letters. Modular by design — add blood tests, mental health, health screens or other services as the team needs them
Setup process : Self-serve online setup in minutes. No brokers, no procurement, no scheme design required
Day-to-day admin : Add joiners, remove leavers and bulk-upload changes in seconds — all from one dashboard. No claims, no approvals. Dedicated team support if needed.
Team size fit : Built for a sole director or a team of 500. No minimum spend, no setup fees, no per-employee overhead — cost only scales with usage

A realistic example

How the cost works out for a 15-person team

Set the allowance.: 5 GP appointments per employee per year for a 15-person team.
Maximum spend.: Around £4,875 a year if every employee uses their full allowance (75 weekday video appointments at £65).
Realistic cost.: Closer to £1,460 a year at typical 30% utilisation.
Compare with traditional PMI.: £6,300–£18,000 a year in premiums for the same team — used or not.
