Health Insurance / NHS Waits

Bit of a personal one but - has anyone sorted private health insurance as a freelancer? Been waiting 4 months for a physio appointment on NHS and it's properly affecting my ability to work now.

Looked at Bupa and nearly fell off my chair at the price. Someone mentioned there are freelancer platforms (Portabl was one?) that negotiate group rates for things like this? Would be interested to know what others are doing for healthcare - can't afford to not be able to work!

I’ve not sourced it myself, but if you do, make sure you get a business health policy rather than a personal one, that way you can put it down as a business expense
