Did you know that you can claim osteopathy treatments on your private health insurance? As osteopaths are primary healthcare providers with medical accreditations, Australia’s private health insurers recognise their treatments. This means that if you have private health insurance extras, your private health insurer will contribute towards the cost of your treatments up to an agreed amount. Australia has about 25 private health insurance funds. The amount that your health insurer contributes towards your osteopathic treatment will vary depending on your level of cover. In general, the higher the level of cover you have with your insurer, the more your health insurer will contribute towards the cost of your osteopathy treatments.
