Angry Medicals - costs

Ive just spoken to BUPA and been quoted

£75 per xray
£100 for a child consultation
£150 for an adult consultation
£74 for an HIV test
£88 for each Hepatitus test if required!

for the 3 of us thats £787 without any hepatitus tests.

What did everyone else pay? any recommendations have car will travel!

Hi

We paid £180 per adult for xray/bloods/urine/consultation
for the kids aged 8 and 10 (at the time) £80 no bloods or xray required...BUT our CO came back and requested a chest xray for 10 year old as she was turning 11 this cost £65.( Over 11 need chest xray )
These were all sent by Dr. recorded delivery which was included in price however because I wanted the CO to get 10year olds xray there quick I paid £45 for a courier.
Hope this helps
It was hassle free Dr. was great all done in one day for all 5 of us only hitch was xray for 10 yr old

I priced up all medicals within approx 100 miles of Scunthorpe (not too far from Beverley) and Hull came out the dearest by a long long way! by the sound of your quote that's where you priced up. Huddersfield & Sheffield came out the cheapest and if its for 2 Adults & 1 child, I would expect it to be less than £500 from either Huddersfield or Sheffield and thats for everything.

We used a Dr Smart from Bonnyrigg.

I made typo on my post it should have said £75 for X-Rays

Can I ask how do you get the money back for your medicals? I thought once you had paid them that was that? Or have I missed something?

Hiya

We are going over on a Labour Agreement - My Hubby is joining the Royal Aussie Navy and they pay for everything. We have to pay for the up-front costs etc, but we're keeping an expense summary and they asked us to submit a claim once we arrive.

We pay up front for meds - Visa Application - X-rays - Police checks and all supporting stuff - once we arrive they reimburse.

They pay for the flights and removals at source.
