Can I claim the cost of my physiotherapy on my private medical insurance ?

Blackpool Physiotherapy Centre is recognised by the major private health insurance companies for physiotherapy treatment. Often, a patient has to be referred by their GP or specialist in order to claim the cost of their physiotherapy treatment through their private medical insurance. We do strongly recommend that patients contact their insurance company before commencing treatment to check and confirm individual policy conditions relating to a claim. 

Special questions to check with the insurance company are:

• Is there an excess on the policy? i.e. the policy holder has to pay for part of the treatment themselves.
• How much insurance cover is available? e.g. set number of treatments or monetary limit.
• Is the financial assistance provided for physiotherapy treatment alone or is it part of an overall sum for specialist services. This is important if a Consultant is involved or if further investigations are being considered.
• Is there a time limit for the treatment to take place.

In certain instances with some insurance companies Blackpool Physio Centre will invoice the insurance company directly. If you wish for the clinic to provide this service it is important that you bring all your insurance details and a completed claim form with you (if required), to your first appointment.
