Using Private Health Insurance for Chiropractic, Osteopathy, and Physiotherapy in Swindon: A Guide
If you have private health insurance with Bupa, AXA, Aviva, Vitality, or WPA, you may be eligible to receive Chiropractic, Osteopathy, or Physiotherapy treatment at Kube Medical in Swindon. Many health insurance policies cover musculoskeletal treatments, but it’s important to understand how the process works, what is covered, and how to make a claim.
This guide will walk you through the insurance process, what treatments are covered, and how to book an appointment using your insurance.
Can I Use My Health Insurance for Chiropractic, Osteopathy, or Physiotherapy at Kube Medical?
Yes! Kube Medical is registered with the UK’s leading health insurers, meaning you can access Chiropractic, Osteopathy, or Physiotherapy treatment through your Bupa, Axa, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, or other private healthcare policy.
Each practitioner at Kube Medical is individually registered with insurers, so your policy may require you to see a specific practitioner within our team.
How Do I Book a Treatment with My Insurance?
To book Chiropractic, Osteopathy, or Physiotherapy treatment in Swindon using insurance, follow these steps:
Step 1: Contact Your Insurer
Before booking, you should contact your insurance provider (Bupa, Axa, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, etc.) to:
- Check if your policy covers your treatment.
- Get pre-authorisation (most insurers require this before starting treatment).
- Confirm whether the insurer will pay directly or if you need to claim reimbursement.
Step 2: Obtain an Authorisation Number
For most major insurers, you will receive an authorisation number for your treatment. This allows Kube Medical to bill your insurer directly, so you don’t have to pay upfront.
Other insurers may require you to pay for your appointment and then claim reimbursement by submitting receipts.
Step 3: Book Your Appointment
Once you have your authorisation number, you can book an appointment at Kube Medical in Swindon with a Chiropractor, Osteopath, or Physiotherapist registered with your insurer.
We aim to offer appointments within two business days, so you can get started on your treatment quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need a GP referral to use my insurance?
Most insurers do not require a GP referral, but some policies (e.g., certain Bupa and WPA plans) may ask for one before approving treatment. Check directly with your provider.
What if my insurer doesn’t cover the full cost of treatment?
Some policies require a co-payment or excess payment. If your insurance doesn’t cover 100% of treatment costs, you will need to pay the remaining balance.
Can I combine insurance with self-payment?
Yes, if your insurer does not cover certain treatments (e.g., Laser Therapy), you can self-fund additional services to complement your treatment.
