Questions
The things people ask about cost.
What does Take a Seat charge me?
Nothing. Screenings, pathway building and specialist matching are free to use. You pay the clinician or provider directly for the care you choose, at their published rate.
Are these prices fixed?
No. They are the typical range across our UK network. Individual clinicians set their own fees and will confirm the exact cost before anything is booked.
Do you take commission on clinical referrals?
No. Clinicians pay to be listed, not per referral, so nobody moves up your list by paying more.
Can I use insurance or an employer scheme?
Often, yes. Many of our clinicians accept major UK insurers or employer health budgets. Ask during your first consultation and we will note it on your pathway.
Want a plan before you spend anything? Build your pathway - it takes about a minute and costs nothing.

The Care Plan is a membership we're building for people on longer pathways - quarterly re-screens, prioritised booking requests and a record you can share with your GP. It's not live yet, and there's nothing to pay.
