Frequently asked questions
- What is a Healthcare assistant (HCA)?
A healthcare assistant (HCA) is a healthcare professional who is trained to take bloods and gather information for clinical assessments by our doctors. DocTap's HCAs help us to bring you the best possible care whether you are having a health screen or blood test.
- How do I prepare for my test?
Most blood tests only take a few minutes to complete and require no preparation. Occasionally, you may be required to fast or stop medication before a blood test but we will tell you in advance if you need to do this.
- Will my insurance cover my tests or scans?
Health insurance plans vary significantly depending on the provider and the level of cover you have. Please always contact your health insurance provider for clarification. If you would like to have tests or scans but want to to check with your insurance provider whether or not these are covered your doctor can provisionally add tests so that you can contact us to confirm them once you have spoken to your insurance provider.
- My doctor has requested I have some tests done, can I get these done with you?
If a patient requests blood tests recommended by another doctor, we may be able to help. However, the tests will only be carried out if a DocTap doctor deems them to be clinically appropriate. Please note, we do not offer a standalone 'phlebotomy service' (i.e. blood collection without testing). To proceed, the patient must book a GP consultation and pay the standard fee. During the appointment, the doctor will review the patient's condition and decide whether to carry out the requested tests. Any supporting information from the referring doctor can help our GP make this decision.
- Can I book a scan without having a GP consultation?
While scans are safe and useful tools for diagnosis, over use of scans can be hazardous. For this reason our doctors need to assess you prior to referring you for a scan.
- Can you do a scan for my child?
Please contact us at support@doctap.co.uk to check whether we can do the scan you think your child may need.
- I can't find the test that I need on your website, do you offer it?
Our A-Z test list shows all the tests that we are able to offer at DocTap. Some more specialist tests can only be carried out by specific providers.
- Can I get an ultrasound 2 week wait scan with DocTap?
Unfortunately we do not do any 2 week wait referrals through DocTap. Please contact your NHS GP if this is something you require.
- Can you take bloods for my child?
Our laboratory partner TDL operate a Patient Reception at 76 Wimpole Street, London W1G 9RT where they are able to take bloods for children under 16. Your doctor will give you a phlebotomy form during your appointment so you can bring this with you to the patient reception. Our staff are not able to take blood from children under 16 in our clinics.
- What types of scans does DocTap offer?
DocTap offers X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound and ECG. These are carried out by our scanning partners Oryon and Vista.
- How much will my tests cost?
Our A-Z test list shows the cost of all blood, urine and stool tests that we offer. In addition to the cost of tests, there is a £20 handling fee and an appointment fee (starting from £10 for a healthcare assistant or £75 for a GP).
