Business Services

Chiropractors

Chiropractors

Balens pioneered top quality cover for chiropractors in the early 1990s and have been actively involved as a major supplier to for them ever since. We have worked behind the scenes not only in education, but in a consultancy capacity, helping with risk management and supporting chiropractors with regulation matters. Balens have been a loyal and long serving servant of the chiropractic community.

Our policies are realistically priced and the policy wording is one of the widest available on the market and includes many important features that other policies may not. Our policy is a uniquely designed "hybrid" policy incorporating the advantages of a Claims Made and Claims Occurring wording without their disadvantages! We are very flexible and can respond quickly to changed circumstances and needs. As well as all types of Chiropractic we can include over 3000 different therapies and techniques within the one policy, many at no additional premium!

Balens specialist insurance packages are designed by our Managing Director David Balen, who has 40 years experience in the insurance industry. We have always regarded our claims service (including an out of hours helpline in event of emergencies), our advice, top quality cover and personal service as our main strengths. These alone can save time and money in the long term. Our collective buying power ensures that you get the best value for money and a unique cover opportunity in this very specialised and limited marketplace.

We are able to send you a leaflet and form upon request which will give you all of the information you need to enable you to make a clear decision. If you have any queries, we will do our best to assist.

Occupational Therapists

Occupational Therapists

Balens have been the main recommended insurance broker for privately practising Occupational Therapists for many years now. 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 Private and Public Sector OT Conferences and keep up to date with developments in the OT and Medico-Legal fields. OTs have a very wide range of activities and abilities, and our cover has been designed to encompass all of these.

David Balen designed cover many years ago in conjunction with the BAOT to ensure that private practitioners were fully covered. David's daughter Annie obtained a BSc honours degree in Occupational Therapy and has worked in various NHS Trusts across the UK, giving Balens additional insight into the world of an OT.
