Immigration Health Surcharge for New Borns after they are 3m

Post by satya878 » Tue Jan 15, 2019 6:11 pm

Hi,

Can you please help with the below query.
Our baby is due soon and I am eligible to ILR in July 2019.
Do i need to pay for healthcare surcharge for the baby?
I read in the above thread that NHS treatment is free for 3 months and after that, we need to pay for the baby.

Any help highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sat

Possibly before the rules on NHS treatment were tightened.

Chapter 1: Page 10 Exempt categories of person (includes)
"A child born in the UK to an above mentioned exempt person is also exempt from charge
up to the age of three months provided that the child has not left the UK since birth."

Unfortunately, cannot apply for IHS without making an Immigration application.

An alternative to a possibly unnecessary application for leave to remain of of a non-traveling UK born baby is to get adequate health insurance cover for baby?

Hello,
Can someone please help me with the following query.
- I have contacted the insurance company and they said they will cover the normal GP referral service but what about vaccinations?
- My baby is due for vaccinations next month and I am worried if they charge 150 percent more which we cannot afford.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Satya,

Congratulations. I can tell you about my experience. My child born last year in Feb and I didn't apply his Indian passport or tier 2 visa. NHS will not stop GP service and vaccination. This will only be an issue if a child needs to refer to NHS hospital for a test or admission. I that case I took health insurance as you can ask your GP that you want to seek private treatment.

Thanks
Anubhav
