Reading the Leicester price list
The 39 figures above are package prices: the procedure and an agreed stay, with the initial consultation and diagnostics usually billed separately. The spread here runs £1,639 to £15,655, so the Leicester list is worth reading against the "priced elsewhere" column rather than in isolation.
Would private health insurance pay for treatment at Leicester?
Not if you already have the problem. Cover is written for conditions that arise after it starts, so anything you already have symptoms of is a pre-existing condition and excluded — permanently under full medical underwriting, or until a symptom-free period has passed under a moratorium. Freedom Health Insurance names a five-year look-back; WPA adds a 14-day deferment on anything arising in the first fortnight.
Bought before symptoms, a policy is what turns £3,888 into a claim. Bought after, it will not. Get a free quote to see what cover would cost you, or read how UK cover compares and the FCA-authorised brokers.
