PACKAGES AND PRICES
Urgent care pricing needs to be clear and easy to understand. You’ll be asked to pay for your initial consultation at the time of your visit, and we can give you a receipt to help you claim the cost back through your private medical or travel insurance.
If you need a referral to a consultant, we’ll make sure that you’re fully aware of any additional costs before moving forward. If you’re using private health insurance, it’s best to check with your provider to confirm your level of cover before visiting us.
