Self-funding

NUH Life offers fertility consultation, investigations and treatment on a self-funded basis for those who are not eligible for NHS-funded services.

Any service provided by NUH Life on the NHS can also be provided for a fee for anyone who unfortunately does not qualify for funding. This includes anyone who:

  • Is from overseas and does not have ‘leave to remain’ in the UK
  • Doesn’t meet the local NHS funding criteria
  • Lives outside the local area

Even though NUH Life is essentially a public service, any fee-paid service will be of the highest quality and we do not make any profit from it. Any surplus income we make contributes to developing medical care in the NHS.

Price list

Our price list for individual items and packaged tests and treatments, and cancellation policy, can be found below. For anything else that you cannot see here, please contact our nursing team.

Costed Treatment Plan

Before you pay for any self-funded treatment, our team will complete a personalised Costed Treatment Plan with you. This document sets out exactly what you will need to pay for the treatment that has been recommended. If the treatment plan changes, a new CTP should be completed. The plan also details our Terms and Conditions, refund and cancellation policy for all self-funded consultations, investigations and treatment.

How to access fee-paying services?

For more information about how to be referred for self-funded consultation, investigations or treatment, please contact us.

Before you embark on a course of treatment or package of investigations that you are paying for, you will be given a costed treatment plan, explaining what payments are due when, and what the cancellation policy is. If you haven’t received a costed treatment plan prior to treatment, please contact us immediately.

Payments are taken by credit or debit card either in person or over the phone in advances of services provided. If payment is delayed, then any planned investigations or treatment will also be delayed until payment is received.

Please note, our usual upper age limit for donor insemination is 40 years of age. There are exceptions to this for sibling treatment. Please contact us with any queries.
