Are follow up consultations chargeable – even at the request of the consultant?
Your first post-operative follow-up is included in your surgical fees. Subsequent follow-ups will always incur a standard follow-up fee (cost approximately £100; please check with Mr Turton’s secretary). You will generally require one further follow-up and then can take up the offer of annual or 2-3 yearly review depending on your circumstances, with a view to having an MRI (cost approximately £550) at 10-years to assess your implants. Mammography and USS (cost approximately £160 each) can be arranged depending on your age during the follow up period, if required. Costs reflect Mr Turton’s time, and the charges for his rooms, administration and running costs. You are not charged if you attend for review by an out-patient breast nurse. At your follow-up with Mr Turton, you will always see Mr Turton- any follow-up is not delegated to someone else.
