New patient and follow-up consultation prices
A new patient to Rowena Health consultation is currently £275 for a 45 minute appointment. This does not include the cost of prescribed medication, or costs of recommended investigations.
A follow-up patient consultation is currently £175 for a 30 minute appointment. This appointment can review your care and is usually booked after 8-12 weeks and annually. This does not include the cost of prescribed medication or costs of recommended investigations.
For a quick question, we are delighted to offer a trouble shooting, telephone appointment, lasting up to 10 minutes, which is perfect for questions in-between appointments. This costs £95 and is perfect to discuss a blood test result, or ask a quick question. Please do not book a 10 minute telephone appointment to have your follow-up or annual review as this does not give us enough time to carry out these reviews safely.
Please note that booking confirmation emails may go into your junk email box. You should receive an email on booking your appointment from [email protected]
Prescription administration costs and medication costs
We do not charge an administration cost if a private prescription for a medication like HRT, is issued during your consultation. You will be charged for the cost of the medication itself and if prescriptions are posted to your home, a small additional charge will apply for postage and handling. Prices of HRT products vary depending on the product and dose, typically ranging from £10 to £40 per item per month.
If further prescriptions are requested by you, outside your consultations, then we charge a £35 administration cost. Please use the request a repeat prescription button on the website to request your medication. We review all notes before prescribing to ensure safe prescribing.
The cost of privately prescribed HRT from our clinic is not covered by the NHS or the HRT prepayment certificate.
Emails between appointments
We do not charge for emails but we are only able to deal with logistical issues by email. Any clinical concerns we ask that you book an appointment, as per our practice policy.
Additional letters requested for other specialists £30, we will send an invoice to you if you request this. A copy of your clinic letters will be sent to your GP free of charge so they are aware of our care and recommendations.

Please do not using biotin at a dose 5mg or more in the 8 hours before a testosterone blood test as this can affect the result.
