QDM, You've got to shop around. Yes, my quack quoted something like £60 for my PSV/HGV medical and my AME took the biscuit by wanting to charge me an extra £55 to sign the HGV/PSV medical form at the same time as he was charging me £100 for the CAA (sorrry JAA) medical. I asked a few other drivers and went to a recommended quack who did the PSV/HGV medical for £25. Incidently this is valid for 5 years c.f. 1 year for the JAA medical.
The only way to keep prices in check is to shop around.

added in edit:

By the way, I think it is going to be a much simpler form that the PSV/HGV medical. I haven't seen the form, but from what I have read in the press releases, the medical form is going to be a self-certification. i.e. You fill it in, and your own GP countersigns it. I think this is what the microlighters already do. Perhaps they can give us some idea of how expensive the signature is?
