Private Health Insurance and HICAPS

West End Osteopathy and Pilates has a HICAPS facility, which enables those with private health insurance for osteopathic services to claim their private health insurance rebate at the clinic.

If you are unsure of your level of coverage, please check with your private health insurer.

Medicare

Generally speaking, osteopathic treatments are not subsidised by Medicare Australia.

In a small number of cases, patients may be referred by their general practitioner to osteopaths (or other allied health professionals) under the ‘Team Care Arrangement’.

Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)

Our osteopaths are registered with the DVA and those seeking treatment through this department will incur no out of pocket expenses.

A referral from your GP is required to obtain DVA funded osteopathic care.

Workcover / TAC

Our osteopaths are registered Workcover and TAC service providers. If you are claiming osteopathic care through Workcover or TAC, West End Osteopathy and Pilates requires accounts to be settled on the day of treatment.
