The cost of a consultation depends on the diagnostic techniques required to assess the patient’s condition thoroughly. However, on average, an urgent referral consultation starts from £300.
Patients can use private medical insurance (PMI) to access this treatment. We work with all major PMI providers in the UK and many internationally.
Alternatively, patients can opt to pay for themselves (self-pay). For those choosing the self-pay option, we also offer finance options through Chrysalis.
