Do you have Health Insurance?

Private Health Cash Plans are increasing in popularity and can offer additional health cover for individuals often at minimal monthly cost.  Policies can be funded by an employer or purchased by an individual, for themselves or for their family.  They work by processing claims for reimbursement for healthcare costs not funded by the NHS or private medical insurance policies.  Each company that offers Private Health Cash Plans have different levels of coverage, which reimburse for costs of varying therapies to set annual limits. Below is a list of Private Health Cash Plan providers that recognise complementary therapies for reimbursement. Please note that some professional associations are also recognised but they vary by company.

 

If you have Health Insurance, please check your policy as you may be able to reclaim the cost of some/all of your treatment.

Your policy should inform you of the treatments and values you are entitled to.
