Back and Neck Rehabilitation Programme
The successful management of back and neck pain via the Fund’s conservative back and neck programme will improve your quality of life and reduce your pain and suffering.
The programme is based on internationally successful care pathways that reduces pain and stiffness and improve flexibility. It is also proven to limit, avoid or postpone surgery. Where surgery is truly warranted, this will be permitted within Fund rules.
To ensure that all eligible members are enrolled, there are a number of ways to access the programme:
- The telephonic helpline on 0860 100 076.
- Identification through predictive modelling.
- Intervention prior to pre-authorisation of back and neck surgery.
- For employees, your line manager may refer you to Universal Healthcare to assess your eligibility for one of the programmes.
- Referral from your family practitioner or specialist.
