Are "Blooper" intending to impose a similar tender process on orthopaedic surgeons? Anyone know? They might be useful allies for us: imagine a surgeon not been able to refer to a physio they trust.
One very interesting point in the letter we received from Bupa is when they say they would only be able to guarantee pre-authorisation to physios in the network. Reading between the lines, does this say:
"If you are a corporate member, we don't want to upset your company so we will allow authorisation in this case."
or
"Don't shout at us and threaten to withdraw your membership, we will allow pre-authorisation in this case."
Any thoughts on this ambiguity?
