Common Questions
Fees & Funding FAQs
Answers to the questions patients most frequently ask about fees, insurance, and payment.
How much does a private hip replacement cost in the UK? +
A private total hip replacement with Mr Shakir Hussain costs from £13,050 at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham, or £15,465 at Harborne Hospital. This is an all-inclusive package covering the surgeon’s fee, the anaesthetist, the implant, your hospital stay, pre-operative assessment and all routine post-operative follow-up. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after your consultation.
How much does a private knee replacement cost in the UK? +
A private total knee replacement with Mr Shakir Hussain costs from £14,050 at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham, or £16,410 at Harborne Hospital. The package covers the surgeon’s fee, the anaesthetist, the implant, your hospital stay, pre-operative assessment and all routine post-operative follow-up. Robotic-assisted knee replacement carries a surcharge, which is confirmed in your written quote.
Are the surgical fees all-inclusive? +
Yes. Our surgical package fees are designed to be fully inclusive — covering Mr Hussain’s surgical fee, the anaesthetist, your hospital stay, the implant, physiotherapy during your admission, and post-operative outpatient follow-ups. There should be no unexpected charges. If any additional costs apply to your specific case (for example, if an extended stay is needed), these will be discussed and agreed with you in advance.
What is not included in the package price? +
The initial consultation with Mr Hussain is charged separately from the surgery package. The package price is based on a standard recovery, so it does not include care beyond that, such as a longer hospital stay than planned, a stay in the high dependency unit (HDU), or extra tests or treatment needed for an individual medical reason. Wherever possible, any extra costs are discussed and agreed with you in advance, and your written quote sets out exactly what your package covers.
Is follow-up after surgery included in the price? +
Yes. All routine post-operative follow-up appointments with Mr Hussain are included in your surgery package price, so there is nothing extra to pay for your check-ups after your operation. If you live a long way from Birmingham, some follow-up appointments can be done by video or phone.
Do I need a GP referral to see Mr Hussain? +
No — you can self-refer directly by contacting Wendy Richards, Mr Hussain’s secretary. However, if you are using health insurance, your insurer may require a GP referral letter before they will authorise treatment. We recommend checking with your insurer first. A GP referral letter can also be helpful as it contains useful medical history for Mr Hussain to review.
Why do the surgical fees show a range rather than a fixed price? +
Every operation is planned around the individual patient, so the final fee reflects a few things: the implant system chosen (for example ceramic bearings, or robotic-assisted knee components); the hospital where you are treated (Woodlands Suite at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Harborne, and Priory price differently); the complexity of your case, which matters most in revision surgery where bone loss or infection can call for additional components; your length of stay, including whether you are suitable for day-case discharge or need one or more nights; and any individual medical needs, such as higher-dependency (HDU) care or extra investigations. This is why a single fixed figure cannot be quoted before you are assessed.
Importantly, the cost is not open-ended. After your consultation, Mr Shakir Hussain and his team provide a fixed, written, all-inclusive package quotation before you decide to proceed, and we recommend only the care you genuinely need so your treatment is as cost-efficient as possible. The package structure is designed to protect you from unexpected extras, so you know where you stand from the outset.

The package structure is designed to protect you from unexpected extras, so you know where you stand from the outset.
What if my insurance does not cover the full cost? +
In some cases there may be a small shortfall between what your insurer pays and Mr Hussain’s fee. This is rare where fee-assured arrangements apply. We will always be transparent about any difference before you commit to treatment, so you are never surprised by an unexpected bill.
Is revision surgery more expensive than primary joint replacement? +
Yes, generally. Revision surgery is more complex, takes longer, and typically requires specialist implants such as cones, sleeves, or augments to manage bone loss. The hospital stay is usually longer. As a result, fees are higher than for primary joint replacement. Mr Hussain will review your imaging and provide a detailed, personalised quote after assessing your specific situation. You can read more about revision hip and knee surgery with Mr Hussain in Birmingham.
How quickly can I be seen and have surgery? +
Most patients are seen for an initial consultation within days of contacting us. If surgery is recommended and you decide to proceed, Mr Hussain’s team aims to schedule your operation within a matter of weeks, subject to your health assessment and theatre availability. This is one of the most valued advantages of private care.
