Self-Pay Treatment

Clear Costs for Self-Pay Patients

Theralife is a self-pay clinic. You do not need a referral or an insurance policy to be seen, and you will know what your treatment costs before you commit to it.

At your consultation, your consultant will confirm whether low-dose radiotherapy is suitable for you and set out what a course of treatment would involve. You will then receive a written quote covering the full cost, with no charges added later. Contact us to arrange a consultation.
