AVIVA Insurance – What You Need to Know

​​

Before attending your consultation, please ensure the following:

​

1. Pre-authorisation: AVIVA requires you to obtain a pre-authorisation number before your appointment.

2. Understand your policy: Check your AVIVA policy to understand your coverage, including any applicable excess, which will need to be paid directly to The Functional Podiatrist.

3. Contact AVIVA: You can reach AVIVA at 0800 068 3827 or log into your AVIVA member account HERE. They may require a referral from a Consultant or GP before approving your podiatry treatment.

4. Non-covered items: AVIVA does not cover the cost of dressings, medications, or orthotics. Your podiatrist will discuss any extra charges during your consultation.

5. Policy coverage questions: If you have any doubts about your coverage, contact AVIVA directly. The Functional Podiatrist cannot liaise with your insurance company—this must be done by the policyholder.

6. Important: It is your responsibility to notify AVIVA before your consultation to ensure coverage. Failure to do so may result in AVIVA not covering your consultation fees.
