Please note that consultation + treatment is normally £770 for 1000mg IV iron.
All patients are reviewed by one of the Iron Clinic’s experts. This consultation ensures that the the root cause of the individuals problem is reviewed with a clear appropriate management plan, including the appropriate dose of iron infusion.
A consultation is a normal and essential part of the iron infusion process, but detailed as a separate cost for patients wanting review and advice and we waive this fee for patients who require a repeat infusion within a two year period.
During the consultation our Specialist will go through your full history and review your blood results then discuss your problem with you, inform about iron deficiency and the treatment options so you have a clear treatment plan. This includes advice on the management of heavy periods, recognition of underlying medical or haematological problems and a clear follow up plan to ensure that you do not suffer again.
All patients receiving an iron infusion are required (CQC and GMC guidance) to have a doctors review to ensure they have the correct treatment and dosage of IV iron as well as oversight and responsibility for the infusion itself
ZOOM consultations: These work exceptionally well. We can organise online video conferencing most days of the week. This allows you to be prepared (with any partners or relatives) from the comfort of your home at a time that is convenient for you. In the consultation our specialists can undertake a full review of your history and go through any questions or aspect of treatment. This ensures that when you come to the clinic you are fully prepared for your iron infusion; knowing exactly what to expect with a clear follow up and monitoring plan. Having a consultation in advance also offers far greater flexibility on timings for the infusion.
ONE STOP CLINIC: Consultations can be done face to face and then patients can proceed straight to an iron infusion at the The Iron Clinic in London, overall you will be with us for about 90 minutes (consultation + infusion all in one visit).
Please be aware that the responsibility for ensuring the account is paid is yours. Online / Zoom consultations are booked and paid online. For one-stop and infusions please pay in clinic on the day of treatment unless prior arrangements are in place. We accept all major credit cards.
We understand that unexpected circumstances and unplanned issues can arise, leaving you unable to attend and needing to cancel your appointment. As such, we respectfully request that you notify us of any intended cancellation a minimum of 24 hours in advance to allow us to offer the appointment to other patients.
Appointments cancelled within 24 hours of their scheduled time as well as missed appointments will be subject to the full cost of the consultation and/or treatment. Late arrivals where the appointment cannot be completed without running into the next appointment slot will be cancelled and rescheduled without charge. This allows The Iron Clinic to run efficiently and fairly for all patients and to offer the best possible service.
Unavoidable circumstances may warrant special consideration.
Please note that all new patients require a consultation with their first treatment
Following the consultation with our doctor we normally prescribe a ‘full treatment dose’ which is based on the patient’s weight and their blood results. In the majority this is 1000mg of either Ferinject or Monofer so the total price is £770.
In some cases a larger dose may be given of 1500mg this is an extra £200 (i.e. £970 total). In those patients who require a ‘top up’ infusion within 2 years then the consultation fee is waived and the costs for the infusion are:

We are delighted to be able to take patients with insurance.
We can only accept insured patients AFTER they have approval from their insurer with the relevant authorisation number.
Authorisation, should be for either Professor Toby Richards or Dr Ravi Rao Baikady at One Welbeck, W1. This needs to include: –
BUPA and AXA have agreed the fees with The Iron Clinic at 1 Welbeck. Unfortunately, other insurers are currently very variable so we ask you to pay the normal self pay fees at your visit and then reclaim.
Normally, patients will have seen their GP or specialist then received a letter of recommendation or referral for an iron infusion, this is what the insurance company normally needs to issue an authorisation code to be seen by The Iron Clinic.
If you do not have this then The Iron Clinic can undertake a normal consultation and write a relevant letter. However, this will be as a non-insured individual and will incur the normal fees. You can then try and reclaim these separately, if you wish.
Once you have the insurance authorisation please email this number and your insurance policy number to info@theironclinic.co.uk with:
Please note that the administration and additional paperwork for your insurance process is not something The Iron Clinic are able to manage for you. We do require that these aspects and the authorisation codes are organised in advance, as this is specific to the individuals insurance policy and can vary considerably between companies.
Our staff are available and happy to answer your every question.
