Against waiting or paying in the UK
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for a health check-up in the UK.
Paying privately in the UK: £385–£1,120, from HCA Healthcare UK.
Can the NHS pay?
From England (NHS): the S2 route can fund planned treatment in an EU country, but only state healthcare with a public provider, never private treatment, and only with approval before you go. NHS England must also confirm it cannot treat you in a medically acceptable time. The private clinics on this page do not qualify. NHS: the S2 funding route.
Planning the trip from the UK
- Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for a health check-up and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
- Before you goMost packages need you to fast from the night before. Book a morning slot.
- Before you goAsk what happens if a test finds something: is a specialist available the same week, and at what price?
- Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements).
- LanguageGreek; private hospitals and clinics that take foreign patients work in English.
- After you returnBring the full report to your doctor, not just the summary page.
- After you returnTreat a "borderline" or "follow up" note as a reason to see your doctor, not as a diagnosis.

Health check-up in Greece from the UK: questions
How much is a health check-up in Greece for UK patients?
The published prices we found work out at £58–£163 at the clinic, from IASO General Clinic (IASO Group). Adding a rough travel estimate of £360 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about £418. Your own fares and dates will change that part.
Is it cheaper than paying privately in the UK?
No, not on these example figures: the lowest self-pay price we found at home is £385, about £33 less than the cheapest trip. It can make sense if you are already travelling to Greece.
How long is the wait for a health check-up in the UK?
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in the UK.
How many days do I need in Greece?
Half a day to one day for most packages; packages with endoscopy or several scans can take two days. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will the NHS pay for it?
Only through the S2 route, for state treatment at a public provider, approved before you travel. Private clinics like those on this page do not qualify.
