How do I get health care for a visitor to the Island or Temporary Resident?

We have been advised by the Department of Health that any person who is registered with a  United Kingdom GP will be able to receive free NHS treatment by a GP on the Isle of Man as a temporary resident.  Anyone presenting who does not have a registered UK GP, regardless of where they live, will not be able to receive treatment on the NHS.  This is irrespective of whether or not the treatment is on an immediate and necessary basis.

Anyone without a registered UK GP wishing to receive immediate and necessary treatment will be asked to pay for the consultation using the following tariff, which has been agreed Island-wide.   
£40 for an urgent appointment
£100 for a visit
£10 for a telephone consultation

Payment should be made in advance, and must be in Sterling.  In case of cheque, this must be drawn on a UK bank and presented with a valid cheque guarantee card.  We also accept Chip and Pin cards.  Debit cards are charged at the same price as a cash payment, but a small additional charge is made for credit cards.
