Questions to ask before booking
- Ask Chelsfield Park Hospital, Mount Alvernia Hospital and Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital what tests before treatment would cost: their published breakdown lists them as not included.
- Ask Ashtead Hospital and North Downs Hospital for an itemised quote, as their prices are published as a single figure.
- For hip replacement, weigh Mount Alvernia Hospital (19 miles) against Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (3.6 miles): the £4,008 saving comes with a longer trip, so ask each how many follow-up visits are included.
- For knee replacement, weigh Mount Alvernia Hospital (19 miles) against Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (3.6 miles): the £3,766 saving comes with a longer trip, so ask each how many follow-up visits are included.
- Ask whether the price includes the first consultation and any X-rays or scans before surgery.
- Ask whether the quote is for a total or a partial knee replacement, and why.
