Company Physio Essentials:

  • Up to 5 phone consultations a year with qualified physiotherapists, providing:
    • Phone access to qualified physiotherapists to monitor progress.
    • Personalised online programme and phone app.
    • Physiotherapy treatment with local physiotherapists if required.
  • 24/7 access to a GP helpline.
  • If the clinician believes the employee’s condition can’t be managed by physiotherapy, they will provide the employee with details of their assessment to take to their GP, who may then arrange for them to see a specialist.

Company Essentials can be selected by companies as fully funded company paid cover for all staff or groups of staff; or as part of a flexible benefit offer, either funded by the company or the employees themselves.

Dr Doug Wright, medical director at Aviva UK Health, said: “We know that individuals worry about how they would cope in the future if their health suffered. Our innovative range of top-up health insurance products are designed to target customers’ specific health needs, at an affordable price.

“We hope that by offering the Health Essentials range to our large corporate clients, they can in turn offer additional peace of mind to their employees”
