Health Insurance
Health insurance is designed to cover the costs of private medical treatment for what are commonly known as acute conditions. Most insurers define an ‘acute condition’ as a disease, illness or injury that is likely to respond quickly to treatment which aims to return you to the state of health you were in immediately before suffering the disease, illness or injury, or which leads to your full recovery.
Most people buy these policies to gain the reassurance of knowing that treatment is available promptly if they become ill or are injured. As a private patient you usually have a choice of where you can seek treatment and which specialist you see.
When taking out the cover you will be given at least 14 days from when you receive the information to change your mind (unless you are given the full terms at time of purchase). If you do decide not to go ahead, you will receive a full refund of premium amount, unless you have made a claim. However, once the 14 days have elapsed, you will not usually be entitled to receive a refund of premiums already paid. There is a large variety of health insurance schemes available – from low-cost schemes, offering limited cover, to those which offer wide-ranging cover and benefits.
The Osteopaths Guide recognises that Osteopathy is not always accessible to everyone, as it is mainly found in the private healthcare sector. To ensure osteopaths are able to reach more people in the UK, the majority are registered with the major healthcare providers.
