When should I use my cover?
You may see some health businesses encouraging you to “use up” your private health cover before the end of the year, as come January 1 majority of health funds will re-set and you can receive further rebates for that calendar year. In most cases this is correct.
At Prescribe Exercise we believe that you should use your cover rather when you need it. Your private health rebate is always available, and you should ask yourself the question of “What do I need help with?” and utilise the services as required. If your cover was to run out, Prescribe Exercise Physiology will continue your service, as we prioritise your care as much as you prioritise your health.
No referral is required to claim a private health consultation. We offer on the spot claiming for all consultations.
How much will be covered?
We are often get asked, “How much will be covered?”
As everyone’s health cover is different the best way to find out is to check with your own health fund, as even with the same health fund there is many different levels of coverage. In most cases you will need extras cover to claim for Exercise Physiology services, however this will vary significantly. At the time of your appointment we can process your claim and will be able to tell you exactly how much coverage you have been given.
