Private Health Insurance
Private health insurance rebates for speech pathology
Rebates for Speech Pathology services may be available through your Private Health Fund, depending on your fund and level of coverage. We highly recommend that you determine your eligibility for rebates with your health fund provider prior to commencing services with us.
In accordance with Legislation and advice from our Governing Body, Speech Pathology Australia, clients are not permitted to claim a Medicare rebate and a private health insurance rebate for the same service. Clients are also not permitted to claim private health insurance for a session where you have also used NDIS funding. It is at the discretion of the individual paying for the service, most often the parent, to choose which rebate they are going to use to claim for a service. It is important that they advise their therapist prior to or during their session to ensure the appropriate information is included on their invoice.
If your health fund requires particular workings to be displayed on your invoice for a rebate claim, please contact our accounts department or inform your therapist.
All our Speech Pathologists are registered Medicare Providers and therefore automatically approved with all Private Health funds.
We look forward to speaking with you!
