What Is Private Remedial Massage Cover?

A private remedial massage cover in Australia typically includes coverage for remedial massage therapy treatments, including initial assessments, follow-up sessions, and treatments for specific ailments such as muscle tension or chronic joint pain. The coverage may also include other related therapies such as myotherapy or trigger point therapy. The specific coverage will depend on the policy and insurer, so it’s important to compare policies and read the details carefully before choosing a plan.

How Many Levels of Remedial Massage Cover Are Available To Choose From?

What should I consider when claiming massage and natural therapies with private health insurance?

When it comes to claiming massage and natural therapies with private health insurance in Australia, there are several factors to consider.

A specific reason for the treatment: There are no reasons or requirements in order to claim a remedial massage session. Anyone can go for a massage for any reason and can then get a rebate from their health fund.  Your treatment frequency: Most private health insurance policies have annual for extras cover, including massage and natural therapies. For instance, if your policy has an annual limit of $500 per person for natural therapies, you won’t be able to claim more than that amount in a year for each individual on the policy.. There could also be a sub-limit for remedial massage within your annual limit for natural therapies, so it’s important to read the fine-print in your policy documents.

Also, keep in mind that you can only claim for one treatment per day.

The therapist qualification: Your health fund will only pay out a claim for remedial massage or natural therapy if the therapist providing the treatment is appropriately qualified and is a registered provider.

Do I have to serve any waiting periods when claiming remedial massage services?

The standard waiting period for remedial massage is 2 months. If switching from another health fund where massage is already covered, the waiting period is waived. If you are new to health insurance extras, some health funds offer a waiver of 2-month extras waiting periods as a promotion.
