Self-Funding Patients

• If you are paying for your treatment yourself we ask that you make payment on the day of the assessment or follow-up. We currently accept cheque and cash payments. 
  

• Please note that you do not need a referral if you are self-funding. However, we will make contact with your GP and/or consultant in order to maintain communication unless there is a specific reason why you wish us not to do so.

• Current rates as follows:

• £18 / 15 minutes 
• Inital Assessment usually 45 minutes - 1 hour
  
• Follow up visits 30 - 45 minutes

Private Medical Insurance

• Treatment is usually refundable by all major private medical insurance companies. We can file an insurance claim on your behalf.   

• You will be responsible for any costs not covered by the insurance company--therefore, we recommend that you contact your insurance company before starting treatment to enquire:

  • Whether a consultant or GP referral is necessary
  • Whether you are liable to pay an excess
  • Whether there is any restriction on the number of treatments allowed
  • Whether there is any limit on the amount that can be claimed
  • Whether there are any authorisation codes which must be provided to the therapist prior to treatment.
  • Whether additional equipment is covered (i.e. splints, braces, exercise equipment)--usually these are not covered by private medical insurance

  
  

Additional Equipment/Splints/Braces

• Payment is required at the time of provision for any additional equipment provided to facilitate your rehabilitation.  You will be advised of the cost prior to provision of any equipment.

• Payment is required at the time of provision for any custom splints or off the shelf braces.  You will be advised of the cost prior to provision of the splint/brace.

• Private medical insurance usually does not cover rehabilitation equipment, custom splints or off-the shelf braces.
