Can I Use My Health Insurance for Physiotherapy in Faringdon? Here’s What You Need to Know
Imagine this: you’ve tweaked your back lifting something awkward, your GP suggests physio — and you remember you’ve got private health insurance with Bupa or AXA. But then you check online and… your local provider in Faringdon isn’t showing up.
Frustrating, right?
The good news is: Kube Medical in Faringdon is registered and ready to accept Bupa and AXA patients — even if we’re not currently showing on Bupa’s location finder.
Let’s clear up the confusion and walk you through what to do next.
How Health Insurance Works for Physiotherapy
Most private health insurers like Bupa and AXA cover physiotherapy — especially for issues like:
- Back, neck or shoulder pain
- Joint injuries
- Sports strains
- Post-surgery rehabilitation
- Persistent muscular issues
You can usually contact your insurer directly without needing a GP referral. They’ll confirm what’s covered and give you:
- Your policy number
- An authorisation code
Bring those two details to us, and our admin team can take it from there.
Why Choose Kube Medical in Faringdon?
We offer:
✅ A friendly, experienced
Physiotherapy team

Even though there’s a glitch on Bupa’s clinic finder right now (they’re working on it!), you can still book with us directly as a Bupa patient.
We’ve helped many patients who thought they had to travel further or wait longer — when in fact, they could start local care right away.
Case Example: A Quick Recovery Made Easier by Insurance
Earlier this year, a patient we’ll call Tom contacted us with a nagging knee injury after marathon training. He had AXA health insurance, wasn’t sure how to use it, and didn’t want to lose weeks waiting for NHS physio.
With a quick call to AXA, he got his authorisation code, and within 48 hours he was assessed at our Faringdon clinic. Over a few sessions of hands-on therapy and tailored rehab exercises, Tom was back to running safely — and it was all covered by his insurance.
