Claiming osteopathy fees on health insurance - terms and conditions

Policy Excess Do you or your company need to pay the first part of the treatment fees? Claims Limit Have you already used all your allowances for treatment for a similar problem during the financial year of your insurance policy? Your Health Insurance may stipulate that you have a ‘set’ number of Appointments over a time interval – and then your case is reviewed. Health Insurance normally state that treatment must be for Acute Care rather than on-going maintenance treatment.  Check your policy wording. GP Referral Does your policy require you to have a Referral letter to a “named” Osteopath to enable the claim to be settled? Claim Forms Do you need to complete a Claim Form and have it signed by your GP - or can the Osteopath treating you sign it? Claim Numbers You will need your Membership Number. If you are in Company Scheme you will also need your Group number - this is the number allocated to your company, you will then have your own membership number. You may also need an Authorisation code from the Health Insurance Company. Further Help If you need help with any of these details, please contact your Health Insurance Helpline number. You may have someone in your company - perhaps in Human Resources - who can also direct you.
