Getting the Most from Your Coverage

Benefits for massage therapy can vary significantly between providers and policies. Some funds may cover up to 60% of your costs, with annual limits typically around $300. They are listed under extras coverage, separate from hospital cover, making it crucial to check your specific policy details.

To get the most value from your health funds, we recommend:

  • Reviewing your extras policy details
  • Confirming your annual claim limits
  • Checking if any waiting periods apply
  • Understanding your gap payments
  • Discussing claim processing options with our team

Our Simple Claiming Process

We’ve made claiming your benefits straightforward. Most clients process claims instantly You can submit your receipt directly to your provider for reimbursement for funds claiming.

Important Details to Remember

Understanding a few key points can help you maximise your benefits. Claims typically have a two-year submission window, and you cannot claim for multiple services from the same provider on the same day. While Medicare doesn’t cover massage services, they may be included in workers’ compensation coverage where applicable.
