Health insurer CIGNA has introduced a new benefit which will allow members to self refer for physiotherapy to Nuffield Health.
Plan members will no longer have to wait for a GP referral before accessing treatment. Nuffield Health has identified the most suitable treatment for key conditions based on extensive clinical research so members get the most suitable treatment for their condition.
With over 450 Nuffield Health physiotherapy facilities throughout the UK members can access treatment without delay.
CIGNA's head of product management, Kirsty Jagielko says:
"We're always looking at ways to improve not only our plan design, but also how to facilitate quick and effective utilisation of benefits for our members.
For clients, they're assured that their costs are being controlled and that their employees are receiving the most appropriate treatment - basically it's a win-win situation."
