Fees

Self funding patients:

We accept most major credit cards and American Express (pre-payment by phone on 07858 430403)

Initial consultation - £299

This will include a history, physical examination and a colour Duplex Ultrasound scan

Veinlite Transilluminated Microsclerotherapy - £195 per session

The number of sessions required will depend upon the nature and extent of the veins to be treated. This will be outlined during your initial consultation. In addition there is a one off charge of £45 for two Class II thigh length compression stockings.

Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy - £975 per leg

This is a fixed price covering all treatment and follow up appointments up to six months and includes two Class II thigh length stockings per leg treated

Surgery - the cost of surgery varies depending on the nature of your varicose veins, whether you have had any previous treatment for them and whether it is one or both legs that are being operated on.

The Spire Parkway Hospital will often be able to offer a fixed price package for surgery.

Insured patients:

Please note that an increasingly large number of providers offer an increasingly complex range of different health insurance policies. Many of these policies have complex conditions of use and important limitations to cover.  Insurance companies will not pay for treatment that is considered purely ‘cosmetic’ or for compression stockings. Since the NHS has largely withdrawn funding for uncomplicated varicose veins an increasingly large proportion of private health care providers have taken the same stance. I will invoice your insurance company in accordance with their schedule of fees. A typical, indicative schedule from Western Provident Association can be found at http://www.wpa.org.uk/medical/MedicalFees.aspx. Many of the other providers have their fees posted on their web-sites. However, it is important to remember that the extent to which the costs of treatment will be re-imbursed varies between different insurance companies and between different policies offered by the same provider. Re-imbursement may also depend upon any particular limitations or excesses that apply to your policy
