Private Medical Insurance

Every appointment is unique to you and your needs, regardless of whether you are self-funding or using private medical insurance. Every initial assessment is 45-minutes in duration, this ensures that your physiotherapist is able to deliver a full assessment, clear diagnosis, an understanding of the root cause and a detailed treatment plan.

Each session aims to deliver results, whether that’s a reduction in pain, improvement in function or simply understanding more about your symptoms and diagnosis.

Your physiotherapist will be experienced with a number of years in MSK physiotherapy practice. Therefore, you can expect advanced hands-on treatment, utilisation of industry leading technology and individualised but appropriate exercise prescription.

We work with a number of private medical insurance providers including AXA, BUPA, CIGNA, WPA, Vitality, Nuffield, Aviva and more. If we haven’t listed your provider, please get in touch and our friendly admin team will be able to advise.

Private Medical Insurance FAQs

Do I need a GP referral?
Most insurance companies do not require a GP referral but when requesting an authorisation code, please ask. It’s very often acceptable to self-refer under your private medical insurance policy.
We are registered with all the major insurance companies but if you are unsure please get in touch as we’ll be able to advise. Alternatively, contact your insurance provider and they will be able to confirm this.

Often you will have an excess like any insurance, this is payable to the clinic but we/your insurance company will notify you of that cost. Otherwise, we bill every session you attend directly to the insurance company.

 

All you have to provide is your insurer name, membership number and authorisation code. Nothing left for you to do, we will invoice directly.

This varies depending on your insurer, your policy and your injury. Often you will receive up to 10 session, so normally enough to get you back to your goals.

 

If you are limited to 5 sessions and you require more, our team will request additional sessions on your behalf.

We ask that you attend your session in comfortable clothing. No need to wear sports wear, although it can be useful for your assessment and treatment. However, please attend in whatever you feel comfortable wearing and your physiotherapist will accommodate.
