Imaging and Diagnostic Packages

In our mission to raise the standards of healthcare and make it accessible to all, Medbelle offers an MRI and an independent specialist consultation at an all-inclusive price. Our pricing is transparent and straightforward, so you can receive your imaging and independent diagnosis as quickly and smoothly as possible.

In order for patients to receive a diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan from a surgeon for their orthopaedic care, they typically require:

Referral for imaging from a GP, physiotherapist or a consultant
Imaging
Consultation via video or face-to-face with a top specialist orthopaedic surgeon

With one-to-one support from a personal Patient Care Adviser, we take care of all of this for you with our Medbelle diagnostic packages.

These packages are aimed at any new or existing patient with a musculoskeletal problem looking for a diagnosis quickly. Whether the problem has just appeared, stems from a sports injury or a long-standing condition, our diagnostic packages will help you to identify the next steps.

Diagnostic Package Savings

At Medbelle, we use the most up-to-date technology, which helps us drive administration costs down. We pass these savings onto you and provide you with one-to-one support from a personal Patient Care Adviser who is there throughout your entire journey.

The individual costs of an independent referral, MRI and surgical consultation for a diagnosis can add up.

For MRI, typical costs are:

Around £50 for a referral letter
Starting from £300 and up to £600 for MRI imaging
Around £245 for a private surgical consultation

Many different factors are considered when individually pricing each step, such as clinic location, site of MRI, experience and speciality of the surgeon. To help simplify this process, our package is priced at around £545 for all three. Price may vary depending on location and availability. However, your Patient Care Adviser is on hand to give you a final quote that will include everything.

You can be confident and comfortable that for a one-off all-inclusive payment, you will have an independent diagnosis from a highly qualified and experienced surgeon.

What's included in the diagnostic package?

Virtual physiotherapy assessment & referral for an imaging appointment (if required)
A relevant scan performed in a local imaging centre with a radiologist report
Virtual or face-to-face consultation with an expert orthopaedic surgeon to discuss the results of the imaging & provide an independent diagnosis
Arrangement and booking of necessary surgery and physiotherapy care (if you would like)
End-to-end personal support from your dedicated Patient Care Adviser every step of the way

Independent diagnosis

Full diagnosis and treatment plan

Following your diagnostic imaging, your Medbelle surgeon will take a full medical history and discuss the outcomes seen from the scan. Medbelle aims to provide patients with a diagnosis and offer a comprehensive treatment plan for their condition. This may consist of a recommendation of a surgical procedure, physiotherapy to improve the condition or further investigation into any ongoing issues.

In some cases, our expert surgeon will determine in the virtual meeting that no conclusive diagnosis can be made without a face-to-face meeting the virtual meeting. In these cases, we will offer you a free face-to-face consultation with one of our partner surgeons.

Referral Letter

Prior to attending an MRI, you will typically require a referral letter from a GP, physiotherapist or consultant before booking and attending imaging. This referral is in place to ensure you have the correct MRI imaging for your condition. If you don’t have a referral letter yet, this package includes a virtual appointment with a Medbelle physiotherapist for assessment and referral. Your Patient Care Adviser can discuss all options with you.
