BUPA generally covers a specified number of physiotherapy sessions, depending on your policy’s terms. If you have a BUPA health insurance policy, you may be able to qualify for a series of physiotherapy sessions to treat your injury. We have BUPA-approved physiotherapists in our clinics who can help you treat your pain while we take care of the invoicing for you.
Physiotherapy can be a huge benefit if you’re in pain. Perhaps you are a part of a sports team and you’ve developed an injury – our physiotherapists can help with your discomfort and relieve your pain.
How To Get Treated By BUPA-Approved Physiotherapists
BUPA Health Insurance covers private physiotherapy sessions. This is usually done with a GP referral. Pre-approval ensures that your treatment is deemed medically necessary by BUPA and aligns with your health insurance plan.
It is important to note that your insurance may only cover the cost of private physiotherapy treatment for acute conditions. Conditions or injuries that are new are considered, but not for problems that you have had for a while. For you to make the most of your insurance policy, do not delay the start of treatment, or they may not agree to cover the cost of your physiotherapy appointments.
How It Works
1. Call BUPA to check that your policy includes physiotherapy treatment
Ask them about your membership number, your BUPA authorisation number (you will need a separate authorisation code for each kind of treatment), the number of authorised sessions for each body part, or what your total allowance for physiotherapy treatment is, and details about any excess in your BUPA policy and whether you need to pay this amount to BUPA or True Physio.
2. Ask BUPA if you need a GP referral
This can be done through your NHS or private GP, and you can often get a certificate via a phone consultation.
3. Provide BUPA with our clinic details
Our company name is True Physio, and you’ll need to give BUPA our code for your treatment. If you message, therapies@true.physio we can provide you with the details you need.
4. Book an appointment with us
Book an appointment with us through the booking link or call your local clinic. You will need these details to book:
- Your policy number and authorisation code
- How many sessions or total amount that you have been approved
- What your total excess amount is
