PhysioFunction Ltd. is registered with the major insurance companies including BUPA and AXA, and can invoice these companies directly. Please note that the ultimate responsibility for settling your/your clients’ account lies with you/your client and you/your client will be required to meet any shortfall arising from the claim.

Please note that for BUPA and AXA clients the length of the time for the appointment differs from standard. Neurological initial and ongoing sessions are 45-minutes and MSK Initial and follow-on appointments are 30-minutes.
Physiofunction is a teaching centre and has university students and work experience students shadowing/treating alongside our qualified physiotherapists. If you/your client do not want to have a student present, please advise the treating physiotherapist.
Physiofunction Ltd requires 24 hours-notice of any cancellation.
If you/your client need to cancel / re-arrange any appointments, please give us 24hrs notice. The ways you can contact us to advise us of a cancellation are by telephone to 01327 842321 or by email to rehab@physiofunction.co.uk. Out of normal working hours there is an answerphone for you to leave a message.
We are aware that due to the nature of our service some individuals will have to cancel with short notice, however we must treat all clients the same and with less than 24-hours-notice we are unlikely to fill that appointment slot. Therefore, failure to provide 24 hours-notice of a cancellation for any reason will incur a cancellation charge which is the full cost of consultation charges at our clinic or domiciliary visits.
Please also note that Insurance companies do not always cover late cancellations or non-attendance. If not covered, these charges will be payable by you/your client.
If there are a significant number of cancellations made on your/your clients account, we will contact you/your client to discuss and agree a solution.
If a patient is more than 15 minutes late for their scheduled appointment, it will be at the discretion of the therapist if they can be treated or not.
Payment for initial consultations for private paying individuals must be made at time of booking. Payment for all other treatments is required at time of treatment or within 7 days of invoice date. Payment methods are shown on our invoice.
We confirm that PhysioFunction hold the appropriate professional indemnity insurance in respect of your/your client’s treatment. We confirm that our Physiotherapists are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council, and are members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists.
We will treat all information, facts, matters, documents and all other materials of a confidential nature which we receive or create as a result of your/your client’s treatment as confidential. All written, audio, visual and video records will be stored securely. Information shared within the treatment sessions will be treated with the strictest of confidence and at no time will this information be shared with any third parties without your consent. PhysioFunction confirm that we are GDPR compliant and are registered with the Information Commissioners Office on the “Register of Data Controllers” as required by the Data Protection Act 1998. All data held by us is processed in accordance with GDPR.
