Health Funds (Insurance Companies)
For chiropractic, osteopathic and physiotherapy/orthotic patients, for your convenience, we have installed the "Hi-Caps" system to process your private health insurance claim at the time of service. All you need to pay is the "gap", which varies depending on your level of cover or service provided. Some pay less than one third, others close to the full amount. If your health fund has a "preferred provider" list we probably aren't on it because we don't reduce our fees to get on health fund lists. The "preferred provider" is not a more qualified person, nor is he/she more accessable, reliable or capable, he/she is just willing to charge the health fund less for the service provided. (i.e. discount...) You can make the decision who you chose to see...your body, your choice.
Please remember to bring your health insurance card to the practice, we cannot process your claim without a health-fund card with a magnetic information strip.
If you don't have such a card, ask your health fund to issue one, otherwise we will give you a receipt so that you can lodge a claim.
We provide this service without charge to you, the "gap" can be paid by cash, credit card or EFTPOS.
We don't accept cheques 'cause they are a pain in the bum. (sorry) Too many dud cheques!
