The consultation fee is the first appointment

Consultations at JACE Private Hospital are £250. This covers the outpatient appointment where the consultant reviews your symptoms, history, referral details, previous results, and likely next steps. It is not the price of surgery or a procedure.

Procedure prices are separate guide prices

If a procedure, investigation, scan, injection, or surgery is recommended, the team will explain the relevant guide price before anything is arranged. The final route can depend on clinical findings, anaesthetic choice, theatre requirements, and whether extra support is needed.

Why prices can change after assessment

Private healthcare pricing is clearer when the clinical pathway is clear. A patient enquiring about hand symptoms, bowel symptoms, urinary symptoms, or varicose veins may need different investigations or treatments after consultant review.

What to ask before booking

Useful questions include whether the price is for consultation only, whether procedure costs are separate, what follow-up is included, whether insurance authorisation is needed, and what information the consultant should see before the appointment.

Common Questions

Questions patients often ask

Are all consultations £250?

The standard outpatient consultation fee is £250. Some assessment-led services, screening appointments, or review-and-treatment packages may be priced differently and should be confirmed with the team.

Does £250 include surgery?

No. The £250 consultation fee is for the appointment. Surgery and procedure prices are quoted separately where relevant.

Can I ask for a quote before attending?

Yes. The booking team can explain guide prices, but a final treatment route may depend on consultant assessment.
