Cancellation & insurance letter FAQs

Your questions, answered

Can I get a holiday cancellation letter from a doctor online?

Yes. A holiday cancellation medical certificate is completed online after a GMC-registered doctor reviews your questionnaire and supporting evidence. It costs £45 and you do not need a face-to-face appointment unless the doctor needs more information.

How much does a cancellation or insurance letter cost?

A holiday or event cancellation certificate is £45, a gym membership cancellation letter £49, a school fees insurance claim form £55, a holiday cancellation insurance claim letter £59 and full insurance claim form completion £69. You see the exact price before you pay.

Can you complete my insurer's claim form?

Yes, where it is clinically appropriate. Completion of a medical insurance claim form costs £69. Send us the form your insurer gave you with your request and we will tell you what the doctor needs in order to complete it.

Can you guarantee my insurer will accept it?

No. Acceptance depends on the insurer's requirements and the terms of your policy, so please check what they ask for before ordering. Our letters are signed by GMC-registered doctors and may carry a unique Document ID and QR code for verification.

How quickly will I receive my letter?

We aim to issue approved online letters the same day once all the required information is available. This is a target rather than a guarantee, so please send your request as early as you can.

Will I need a consultation?

Not usually. Most cancellation and claim letters are completed after the doctor reviews your questionnaire and evidence. A video or telephone consultation is only arranged if further clinical information is needed.

Can you help with gym membership cancellation?

Yes. A gym membership cancellation letter costs £49 and supports cancelling or suspending your membership on medical grounds, where clinically appropriate. Gyms set their own cancellation policies, so check yours before ordering.

Can you write a letter covering a date in the past?

Requests for a retrospective opinion are considered individually. We need adequate supporting evidence, and we cannot provide misleading certification.

What if the doctor can't issue my letter?

Then we refund the full service fee. Every letter needs a proper clinical review, and we only issue one where it is medically justified.

Can I use Prompt Medical if I'm not in Leicester?

Yes. Online cancellation and insurance letters are available across the UK. You do not need to visit our Leicester clinic.

In plain English

Certificate or claim form — which do you need?

Insurers usually ask for one of two things, and they are not the same document.

The difference:
  • A medical certificate is a short doctor-signed statement that you were unwell and unable to travel or attend. Many straightforward claims only need this.
  • Form completion is where your insurer sends their own form with a medical section for a doctor to fill in and sign.

If your insurer has sent you a form, choose form completion. If they have simply asked for medical evidence, the certificate is usually enough. Not sure? Send us the wording they gave you on WhatsApp and we will tell you which one to order.
