Expert Advice for Your Health Insurance Journey

Finding the right health insurance can be overwhelming. Let our licensed advisors guide you through the process with unbiased advice. We partner with multiple top-tier insurers to give you more choice and the best coverage suited to your needs.

What Is Physical Therapy Coverage?

Physical therapy coverage typically includes treatments provided by licensed paramedical practitioners, such as:

Physiotherapy (kinesitherapy): for injury recovery, mobility issues, or rehabilitation
Osteopathy: hands-on therapy to relieve musculoskeletal pain and improve function
Speech therapy: support for children or adults with speech, language, or swallowing issues
Dietitian consultations: nutritional support for medical conditions, pregnancy, or wellness goals
May also include chiropractic care, acupuncture, and kinesiology

These services are often essential to regain independence and manage health proactively.

How It Works for Expats

Leading international insurers such as April International, Allianz, and Now Health offer:

Reimbursement per session or annual allowance for paramedical care
Access to licensed therapists in your host country and coverage zone
Direct billing options with approved clinics
Inclusion of sessions under outpatient benefits
No referral needed in some cases (depending on the plan)

Each provider may group these services under "complementary medicine," "paramedical care," or "specialist outpatient benefits."

What to Check in Your Plan

Before enrolling, ask:

Are sessions with all types of therapists covered (e.g. osteopaths, speech therapists)?
Is there a cap per session, per year, or per practitioner type?
Do I need a referral or pre-authorization for coverage?
Are teleconsultations with dietitians or therapists included?

Our advisors help you navigate your plan's fine print and find a policy that truly supports your physical and functional recovery.
