An increasing number of private health insurance policies provide cover for Osteopathy, Acupuncture and Podiatry/Chiropody. It is advisable to check with your insurance company before seeking treatment in order to confirm your available level of cover, if you are liable for any excess or indeed whether you will need a referral from your GP or a specialist in order to make a claim.

Companies include (but not defintive):

• Aviva
• CIGNA
• Health-on-Line
• Pru Health
• Saga
• Simply Health
• Standard Life Healthcare
• WPA

Please note that due to BUPA and AXA/PPP’s new policy of paying practitioners considerably reduced fees we can no long treat BUPA or AXA/PPP patients. Please take this up with BUPA or AXA/PPP if you feel this reduces your right to choose your practitioner.
