Will I receive a health fund rebate?
No From April 2019 the Australian Government deemed that Health Fund Rebates are no longer available on naturopathic consultations. Speak to your health fund provider for further information. This is currently under review by the Natural Therapies Review Expert Advisory Panel and with any luck Naturopathic Appointments will regain their Health Fund Rebate status soon.
What Testing do I need?
Many of our clients have already completed blood tests, some recently. Please provide all your recent pathology tests by email or at the time of your appointment. Each client will be given a letter for their GP or Specialist with details of recommended additional pathology testing. Many of these tests are covered by Medicare when ordered be by your GP or specialist. Tests outside the scope of Medicare can be ordered and paid for separately as required and you can receive a request for pathology at your appointment.
