What This Code Means
This is the code for independent health professionals who are not doctors, dentists or hospitals. It covers a wide range of allied health and complementary therapy practitioners. If your business involves regulated healthcare, make sure your professional registration is in order as HMRC and insurance providers will cross-reference. Personal trainers and fitness instructors should use 93130 or 96040 instead — this code is specifically for health-related clinical services.
Businesses That Use This Code
- Physiotherapy practices
- Occupational therapy
- Acupuncture and homeopathy practitioners
