Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see the Bio?
No – you can book directly with us. Patients are often referred by a physio or a chiro for rehabilitation.
What is your policy with medical aids?
We will claim directly from the medical aid on behalf of the patient. However if the funds are depleted, the account becomes the patients responsibility.
How long are the sessions?
For effective exercise rehab, sessions should be between around 40 minutes long. This is time spent one-on-one with the Bio.
Is there a cancellation policy?
Yes – we would appreciate 2 hours’ notice if the patient will be unable to make the session, otherwise the session will be charged. We do understand that from time to time a spanner is thrown in the works and cancelling within the two hours can’t happen
