NATS - who pays for medical?
Hi

This is a question for those employed at NATS Swanwick.

Do NATS pay for your annual medical/eye test? Or is this something each individual has to pay for?

Thanks

NATS pay for it all, and in-house doctors available for medicals.

I do remember there being a bit of a fuss donkey's years ago when I was charged for a report from my GP (report being required by NATS). I simply passed the bill on and then had a protracted tussle with NATS, who eventually paid up.

And if you don't want the NATS doctor to do it NATS will reimburse upto £150 for you to have it done privately.
