The Plug Medical Group Prices vs Other UK Clinics
How does The Plug Medical Group compare on cost? Below are the headline initial consultation and monthly medication figures for The Plug Medical Group against the most popular budget, mid-range, and premium UK clinics. Consultation fees vary widely (from £0 to £299), but monthly medication costs are broadly consistent across clinics at around £80–£300 depending on your prescription.
| Clinic | Initial Consultation | Follow-up | Monthly Meds |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Plug Medical Group (this clinic) | £49–£99 | £49 | £80–£250 |
| Mamedica | £0–£100 | £0 (access scheme) – £75 | £80–£250 |
| Alternaleaf | £49–£99 | £40–£60 | £50–£200 |
| Curaleaf Clinic | £50–£150 | £50–£75 | £100–£300 |
| Integro Clinics | £95–£195 | £49–£195 | £100–£350 |
| CB1 Medical | £50 (all consultations free 12 months) | Free (after year 1, all care free for life) | £80–£200 |
| Dispensed | £45 | £29 | £80–£200 |
It's important to compare like-for-like: a cheaper initial consultation (Alternaleaf from £49–£99, Wellford Clinics from £5) is a strong draw, but the ongoing costs that matter most are follow-up appointments and your monthly prescription — which land in a similar £80–£300 range across most UK clinics regardless of the entry fee.
