A guide to cost of assessment and treatment
It is important to have a clear idea about the cost of assessment and treatments that may be considered.
The 30 minute initial assessment is key to ensure, that you are offered the treatment options that suit you.
Some treatments can be arranged as a package - this varies according to the hospital providing treatment.
Initial Consultation
£250.00
A 30 minute appointment during which details of your symptoms, how long you have had problems and a clinical examination. Some clinics only offer a 20 minute appointment at a slightly lower cost. At South Wales Veins we use the time to ensure you are fully informed.
All patients with vein problems will require an ultrasound assessment called a Duplex Scan to accurately determine the cause of the varicose veins.
The scan will guide the surgeon to offer you the correct treatment options
Ultrasound Doppler scan
£180.00 - £400.00
Ultrasound assessment of the veins - a painless scan, using jelly and a probe.
For the majority of patients this is sufficient to confirm diagnosis and suitability for procedures.
In a minority of patients, where more complex problems are suspected from the consultation a more detailed scan is necessary and referral to a Vascular Scientist will be required. This type of scan is more costly at circa £275.00 - £400.00 however if required this fee replaces the fee for an initial scan
It requires a separate visit, and follow up appointment.
