Paying for your own treatment is a quick and easy way to get immediate access to healthcare when you need it. At St Joseph’s Hospital, we offer fixed price packages when paying for treatment yourself, with clear pricing and no hidden charges. We also 

offer a range of finance options that can be personalised based on what you’d like to pay, over how long and how much deposit you’d like to pay.

 

Using health insurance

We deal with all the major Health Insurers if you have Health Insurance. In this case the insurance provider will pay for any procedures, tests and other services if you require treatment – so long as it’s covered by your insurance policy. After your treatment, we will invoice your insurer directly, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

* £13,680 is a representative guide price. Treatment prices can differ on a patient by patient case and are determined by factors such as consultation fees, surgery options, anaesthetics options and post surgery options.

Total hip replacement surgery at a glance

Be seen in as little as 48hrs. Our average hip replacement surgery wait time for initial consultation is 14 days.

Total hip replacement surgery is carried out to treat severe hip pain and restore function, usually due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures.


The surgery usually takes an hour to 90 minutes, during which your expert orthopaedic surgeon will make a cut on the side of your hip and removed the damaged ball and socket. Then, they will insert an artificial joint.


Your orthopaedic surgeon will recommend the surgery that’s best for you, after having assessed your hip’s range of movement, strength, and symptoms.


You may have already received a diagnosis from your GP and been added to an NHS waiting list, or you might be in a position where you wish to self-refer.

Total hip replacement. The hospital from reception staff through to consultants without exception were all totally amazing. They all work so hard and made a necessary experience so much easier Highly recommend

As pleasant and comfortable as possible. Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. Sent home with very useful aids to accommodate restricted movement after the operation.

I was extremely nervous never having an operation before but everyone was friendly and reassuring. I was looked after extremely well. Everyone across the hospital was kind and helpful. It was a privilege to be treated for my condition at St.Joseph’s Hospital.

Hip replacement surgery FAQs

How long will it take to recover?

You may initially need a walking aid for a few weeks after your surgery, and you should be able to return to regular exercise and normal activities within 6 – 9 weeks. 


A full recovery takes up to 6 months, and our expert physiotherapy team can aid you with recovery in our hydrotherapy suite and physiotherapy centre. Our equipment is of the highest quality, and our teams can be trusted to get you back to the lifestyle you love.

Will I find a cheaper hip surgery in the area?

We conduct regular competitor analysis to make sure we are offering you the best price in Newport, Cardiff, and the surrounding area. Our independence means we can tailor our pricing to suit our patients.

Will there be any hidden costs?

The price we agree with you upon initial consultation is the price we charge. If you have to stay in hospital for longer than agreed due to a medical consultation, we will not charge you extra. You can also choose to stay after you’re medically fit to return home should you wish to spend longer with us to help your recuperation, and we are happy to arrange that with you in advance.

How long is the wait?

From consultation to surgery, it usually takes 4 weeks. We can arrange a surgery at a time and date to suit you, so you don’t have to compromise. Let us help you prioritise your health.
