CAN I CLAIM FOR OSTEOPATHY ON MY HEALTH FUND?
All private health insurance funds cover osteopathy and will reimburse all or part of the cost if it is part of your specific level of cover.  You will need to check with your fund or insurer before you start treatment to confirm your level of cover.  Health fund claims can be made at the clinic at the time of your treatment. 
           
DO I NEED A REFERRAL FROM MY GP?
No, not if you are attending the clinic as a private patient.

DO YOU ACCEPT TAC AND WORKERS COMPENSATION REFERRALS?

referral from your GP for osteopathic treatment, detailing the injury date and site(s). letter from your insurance company, stating your claim has been accepted. your claim number and the address of the insurance company, which may be listed in the above letter. Upon establishment of the above information, the clinic can bill the insurance company directly on your behalf.
