Private Medical Insurance

GX Physio & Performance is recognised by the major private health Private Medical Insurance companies for physiotherapy treatment.

Usually, 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, yet self-referral is increasing.

Private medical insurance is available in a range of cover levels and premium levels designed to meet the needs of different customers.

We strongly recommend that patients contact their Private Medical Insurance company before commencing treatment to check and confirm individual policy conditions relating to a claim.

Special questions to check with the Private Medical 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 Private Medical Insurance cover is available? e.g. set number of treatments or monetary limit.
• Do you have to pay for part of the treatment yourself.
• Is there a time limit for the treatment to take place once started or an authorisation number has been issued?
• 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?

GX Physio will invoice these insurance companies directly;

• BUPA, BUPA Int, AXA, Healix, Simply Health, CIGNA, and AVIVA

Please note: If your Private Medical Insurance company does not cover your treatment charges in full, any outstanding amount will be due from you as our client.
