Insurer fees run from £45 a session to no cap at all. Is it worth it for your practice?
If an insurer referral filled one weekly slot at £60, that’s around £2,800 a year. If the rate is wrong for your practice, it’s a lot of admin for less than your work is worth. Either way, the choice deserves real numbers, and most therapists are deciding on a hunch.
Worth It or Not? is the free workbook I wish I’d had before I registered with Bupa, AXA, Aviva, WPA and Vitality. Sit down with your own fee in front of you and you’ll come out with a clear yes, no or not yet.
What you get, free:
The fee sum. Insurer rates set against your own fee, worked through in pounds.
The true cost of the admin. What registering takes once, the weekly habit after it, and my Healthcode cost calculator so you can see the monthly fees before you commit.
The check most people skip. The eligibility question that decides whether you can apply at all, so you don’t lose an afternoon to a form you can’t finish.
“I’d been putting off working with private insurers for a while because of it feeling daunting and not knowing where to start… I now feel a lot more confident in incorporating this additional income stream into my private practice.”

If the answer's yes, my course From Overwhelmed to Insurance-Ready takes you through registering with each insurer step by step, Healthcode included.
