Can I use my health insurance cover to pay for treatment?

Yes. I can invoice most health insurance companies directly once provided with authorisation codes.

Do you offer home visits?

I do home visits if necessary. I charge for my travel time and time to get set up with the portable couch etc. in addition to the treatment charge so they can be costly. In cases of hardship I would negotiate the charge. An example of a home visit was for a patient whose baby was delivered by forceps due to the difficult labour. She found it hard to get out for the first few months and I was able to visit her at home.

Can I be treated fully clothed?

Yes, although it may be preferable to partially undress so that assessment can be carried out more easily.
