There is no NHS surcharge for a visitor visa application. Your mother however will need private medical insurance as she won't be entitled to use NHS facilities including GP visits.

You will need to submit VERY strong evidence of ties to her home country, as visitor visas have become far more difficult to obtain since the Immigration Rules for the settlement of adult dependent relatives were tightened considerably in July 2012.

Has your mother held a 6 month visitor visa in the past?

5 months is far too long.

Yes she had a 6 months in 2015 and she spend 3months and return back home.

My question are is it compulsory she must include the private medical insurance with the application to be successful??

It's not a requirement within the Immigration Rules but in my honest opinion it would be extremely unwise not to take out health insurance cover once the visa is approved.

A member recently posted a sad situation on the forum where the family were facing a £33,000 NHS bill in the UK for their elderly relative here on a visitor visa.

Also note that future visits will be at risk if there is an unpaid NHS bill of £500 or over. See below:

V 3.14 An applicant will normally be refused where a relevant NHS body has notified the Secretary of State that the applicant has failed to pay charges under relevant NHS regulations on charges to overseas visitors and the outstanding charges have a total value of at least £500.
