Wellbeing and alternative therapies definitions
Healthcare Professionals
The Healthcare Professional that you choose must be registered with/a member of one of the professional organisations recognised by Westfield Health for you to be eligible to claim on your plan.
Registration/membership must be relevant to the treatment/service that they are providing.
Whilst these professional organisations aim to ensure best practice, there is no statutory regulation of these therapies/services. We therefore strongly recommend that you also check whether your chosen Healthcare Professional is adequately trained and holds any necessary liability insurance.
For each therapy/service please ensure that your Healthcare Professional is a member of/registered with:
