Occupational Therapists (OTs)

Balens have been the main insurer for privately practising Occupational Therapists for some time now. Over 12 years ago, David Balen sat down with the College of Occupational Therapy (in conjunction with the British Association of Occupational Therapy) and The Private Practice Special Interest Group (currently known as OTiPP) with Underwriters to begin a long period of negotiation and product development, looking into every aspect of what OTs do, and came up with a market leading scheme.  Whether you are an individual OT or a Corporate delivering OT and other Health Services, we are able to provide an affordable quality solution with a comprehensive range of cover. We regularly attend OTiPP Conferences and keep up to date with developments in the Medico Legal field. OTs have a very wide range of activities and abilities, and our covers reflect this.

Here is a selection of some of the activities we can cover: 

• Routine assessment work
• Medico Legal work
• Therapeutic Work
