PAYMENTS

All costs or treatment will be confirmed in advance:

Private Medical Insurance

All the main private health insurance providers, including many international and expatriate insurance companies, recognise The Radiology Clinic. It is essential that your patients always contact their private insurance company to obtain clearance prior to any investigation and treatment. The Radiology Clinic's staff can be contacted and provide any necessary information you may need including professional fees and investigation / procedure costs.

The Radiology Clinic’s professional fees are typically within the insurance companies published guideline range. The level of cover depends on your patients' individual policy and occasionally they may be asked to make an excess payment.

Self-funding Patients

The Radiology Clinic accepts patients who do not have private medical insurance. In fact more and more people are opting to self-fund imaging investigations and even some interventions, often finding the costs are less than they imagined. Private medical care offers a prompt and efficient option at a time that suits you.

Card payments accepted.

The costs for imaging examinations will vary according to the type and complexity of scan and the centre used but please call us on 0121 724 0470 or email info@theradiologyclinic.co.uk for confirmation of cost.
