UK pricing
I used to be able to go private (£180 per consulation) then go between NHS (free) and private as it suited. Mri scan under anesthetic was £900, bone scan £400 etc etc
This has now been stopped in the UK.
Initially I was quoted £30,000 for my two level ADR, I was seriously thinking of putting the house up for sale and then after pushing the PCT
NHS Trusts and Primary Care Trusts - information - Grace Care
and proved I was in the area covered they agreed the operation could be done on the NHS (free)
Looking once more how to proceed as I am back almost to square one.
