Ross Hall Hospital Prices & Treatment Costs
Ross Hall does not publish a public price list — and neither does Circle Health Group generally. That’s why searching for one rarely turns anything up. Instead, the hospital quotes a fixed-price package for your specific treatment after consultation, typically bundling the surgeon, anaesthetist, theatre and hospital stay.
The table below gives typical UK private guide prices so you can budget before you enquire.
| Treatment | Typical UK guide price |
|---|---|
| Initial consultation | £200–£250 |
| MRI scan | £350–£900 |
| CT scan | £350–£900 |
| Ultrasound | £100–£350 |
| Gastroscopy | £1,200–£3,200 |
| Colonoscopy | £1,849–£2,690 |
| Cataract surgery (per eye) | £2,500–£4,000 |
| Hernia repair | £3,000–£6,000 |
| Knee replacement | £12,000–£16,000 |
| Hip replacement | £11,000–£17,000 |
| Private room, per night | £275–£500 |
Important: these are indicative UK private market ranges, not Ross Hall’s own published rates. Your price depends on your consultant, the complexity of your case and what the package includes. Always ask for a written, itemised fixed-price quote covering surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital fee, overnight stays and follow-up — those last three are where quotes differ most.
💡 Spreading the cost
Self-funders can pay interest-free over 10 or 24 months through Circle’s finance partner, Chrysalis Finance (24-month terms apply above £10,000, subject to status). Your initial consultation and any scans are charged separately and quoted upfront. See interest-free treatment credit, all credit options and self-paying explained.

About Ross Hall Hospital
Ross Hall opened in 1983 and is now part of Circle Health Group — the group that absorbed the former BMI Healthcare network, which is why it’s still often searched as “BMI Ross Hall”. Serving Glasgow and the West of Scotland, it’s the largest private hospital in Scotland, with over 330 consultants supported by 24-hour Resident Medical Officers.
A genuine differentiator is clinical safety infrastructure: on-site intensive care (ICU/HDU) at a level above most private hospitals, plus resident doctors around the clock — which matters for more complex surgery. In 2022 it added Ross Hall Clinic Braehead, about 10 minutes away, housing 41 consulting rooms, a second MRI and X-ray suite, cardiology, the respiratory laboratory, the skin centre, Eye Care Scotland and the physiotherapy centre.

Insurance & Referrals
Ross Hall works with the major UK insurers — AXA Health, Aviva, Bupa, Vitality, WPA and Healix. Two steps matter before booking:
- Check your hospital list. Recognising Circle isn’t the same as covering this site at your tier — see Bupa, AXA, Aviva, Vitality and WPA hospital lists explained.
- Get pre-authorisation in writing before any appointment or procedure.
Self-pay patients can self-refer for most services without a GP referral; insured patients usually need a referral plus pre-authorisation. Not covered? Compare policies that include Circle hospitals, or see how to go private to skip an NHS wait and whether cover is worth it. Note that private hospitals aren’t emergency departments — see do private hospitals offer emergency care?
What Do Reviews Say?
Ross Hall holds strong patient feedback: around 4.7 out of 5 on Google from over 1,700 reviews. Circle’s own patient satisfaction survey (January–December 2025, 4,559 questionnaires) reported 96.3% rated their overall experience good or very good, and 98.5% would recommend their consultant. Reviews consistently praise the nursing, theatre and support staff.
As with any hospital, the right choice depends on your specific consultant and procedure — a highly-rated hospital is a good sign, but check your individual consultant too. Independent data is published by PHIN, the Private Healthcare Information Network.

Which insurers are accepted at Ross Hall Hospital?
Ross Hall works with the major UK health insurers including AXA Health, Aviva, Bupa, Vitality, WPA and Healix. As with any private hospital, recognition of the group is not the same as access to that site — confirm your specific policy and hospital list tier include Ross Hall before booking, check your consultant is recognised there, and get pre-authorisation from your insurer first.
Do I need a GP referral to be treated at Ross Hall?
For self-pay patients you can self-refer for the majority of services at Ross Hall without a GP referral. If you’re claiming on private medical insurance your insurer will usually require a GP or specialist referral plus pre-authorisation before your appointment — booking first and claiming afterwards is the most common reason claims get refused.
