My sister is a physiotherapist at a private hospital and has been asked several times by her patients if she would treat them at home, she's cleared this with the hospital who are fine with this, the only rule being the patients must live further than 10 miles from the hospital.

She's currently treating a couple of patients at their home, but they would like to pay her through their private medical cover (Axa). How does one go about establishing a relationship with the insurance companies and what is required to do so?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

She could ask her professional body. They should be able to recommend one that recognises her qualifications.

The CSP is the professional body - I would think she'd already be a member? I've got a feeling their membership fee might cover her insurance for working for herself, I would think that would be vital to check.

Tried asking Axa themselves?

She's already registered as part of the CSP, I wondered if there was another way (an intermediary body) rather than reaching out to every insurance company directly?
