Joint, Soft Tissue Ultrasound and Radiographs Fee List
If you are referring yourself (i.e. you do not have a referral letter from a clinician such as a GP or physiotherapist) an initial consultation with a radiologist is necessary before an on-site appointment can be booked.
MRI Examinations
Our doctors have admitting rights for MRI and other procedures at The Manor Hospital (Oxford), Genesis Care (Oxford), Cobalt Health (Cheltenham) or European Scanning (Harley Street London). Prices may vary depending on the examination location and facility. For example, knee or lumbar spine examination in Cheltenham is from £320 for one area, whilst a standing, sitting or lying MRI examination of the whole spine using a specialist machine is at the upper end of the price range.
The remote hospital will invoice patients at the same rate as their standard charges as a single fee which includes the reporting of examination. Using electronic links to our archiving, we will make the referral, arrange investigation, report the examination, and archive the images at no additional charge for those referrals channelled through our practice.
We may advise that prior to a procedure, the patient has up-to-date diagnostic imaging arranged. This is to ensure that there are no other causes for your pain. If you have not had any prior imaging or it was undertaken a long time ago, we can arrange this for you at an additional cost.
Appointments
If you decide to proceed with treatment, please contact our team to make an appointment and they will explain and send further details for the practicality of attending, travelling home after an injection and the follow-up process.
Follow-up
Once any injection treatment is complete, we ask you to complete a pain diary over the two-week period following the procedure. This is an essential part of the patient care as the outcome score affects the advice the consultant will give you by a follow-up report.
Cancellations
Please note St Luke’s Radiology holds a 2 working day cancellation policy. 50% of the fee will be charged for any cancellations made within less than 2 working days’ notice. Up to 100% of the normal fee may be charged for any cancellations made within 1 working day of your appointment.
Self-referral consultations30% of this consultation fee will be deducted should a procedure be arranged following your consultation with the radiologist; this discount does not apply to procedures that we arrange for you at other institutions, such as an MRI scan |
