Claiming from Private Health Insurance

Contactless Payment Icon and HICAPS on the spot health claiming

The practitioners are registered with all leading private health insurance funds. As long as you have adequate cover, you can claim for their services on the day of your appointment.

Experience the convenience and efficiency of on-the-spot health fund rebates with HICAPS, an advanced electronic claiming system.

This innovative service simplifies the rebate process, enabling you to instantly claim and significantly reduce your immediate expenses.

HICAPS (Health Industry Claims and Payments Service) offers a swift and straightforward solution for private health fund members to obtain their rebates instantly.

Its extensive compatibility with the majority of Australia’s private health insurers ensures that a wide array of patients can access this feature, supported by a diverse network of independent healthcare providers.

To facilitate seamless claiming, HICAPS facilities are available on the premises. Simply bring your health insurance card to your appointments, and you can instantly claim your rebate, leaving only the gap payment to cover on the day.

Moreover, settling fees on the day of service eliminates the need for complex bookkeeping and billing processes, allowing cost savings to be passed directly to clients.

This approach not only streamlines your visit but also enhances the overall efficiency and affordability of the services provided by independent practitioners.

Leverage the simplicity and speed of HICAPS for your upcoming healthcare appointments and optimise your private health insurance perks while enjoying the benefits of straightforward and cost-effective billing practices.

Claiming from Medicare

Medicare Rebates Icon

Did you know that Medicare may offer rebates for a maximum of five visits (total) for Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, or Podiatry services each year?

The clinic utilises Medicare Online, meaning if you have a registered EPC (Enhanced Primary Care) plan from your doctor, claims can be submitted directly to Medicare on the day of service. Your rebate will then be deposited into your bank account within 1-2 business days.

If your GP fails to register you under the Medicare EPC scheme or does not correctly lodge the EPC paperwork, rebates will not be provided by the government. Ask your GP if you qualify for the Enhanced Primary Care Program (EPC) during your next visit.

Please note: Brunswick Health is not responsible for the amount reimbursed, as this is a matter between you, your GP, and Medicare.

It is strongly recommended that you make reasonable inquiries regarding your medical entitlements before any appointments. Please note, bulk billing is not available.

For more information on how you can claim chiropractic, physiotherapy, or podiatry visits under the Medicare EPC scheme, download the EPC Medicare Rebate Brochure.

Claiming from WorkSafe & TAC

Worksafe TAC Claiming Icon

You may easily claim WorkSafe and TAC (Transport Accident Commission) treatments depending on the type of health service you seek. 

Generally, you can consult a chiropractor, physiotherapist, osteopath, or podiatrist, provided it is authorised by WorkSafe or TAC. The importance of receiving prompt and effective care is recognised, especially following a workplace incident or transport accident.

That’s why it’s made easy for you to access the treatment you need without the hassle of delayed payments.

All WorkSafe and TAC treatments must be paid for on the day of service and are charged at the same competitive rates as private-paying patients.

The front desk staff will submit your receipts to the relevant authority on your behalf for swift reimbursement, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your recovery.

Please note: Brunswick Health is not responsible for the amount reimbursed, as this is a matter between you and the relevant authority. It is strongly recommended that you make reasonable inquiries regarding your medical entitlements before scheduling any appointments.

DVA Claiming

DVA Claiming Icon

You can easily claim DVA (Department of Veterans’ Affairs) treatments once DVA has approved. The importance of receiving prompt and effective care is recognised, especially for veterans.

That’s why a seamless process is ensured for you to access the treatment you need without any payment delays.

All Veterans Affairs (DVA) consultations are bulk billed when attending the clinic, provided you have your GP’s DVA referral form and have been advised by DVA that your claim is approved. Please bring all your documents on the day so the bulk billing process can be organised. Otherwise, you will be required to pay for fees on the day the services are rendered.

Conditions for DVA Treatment:

  • GOLD Cardholders: You are entitled to be treated for any condition.
  • WHITE Cardholders: You are entitled to be treated only for the conditions specified by DVA.

 

The amount of treatment you are entitled to will depend on your card. Generally, treatment is not restricted.

Please Note:

If DVA refuses to pay for your consultation(s) because your claim is finished or incomplete, you are required to pay your account within 14 days. Otherwise, further administration fees will apply.

DVA does not cover massage services.

For further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

ndis Claiming

NDIS Disability Claiming Icon

If you qualify for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you may be able to claim your treatments.

If you qualify for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), there are three main ways to manage your funding:

Option 1: Self-Managed Funds
With self-managed funds, NDIS provides a certain amount of funding directly to you. You can use these funds for any health services you choose. This means you pay the practitioner directly at the time of treatment.

Option 2: Plan-Managed Funds
Plan-managed funds involve a financial intermediary company that manages your NDIS funds and reimburses health practitioners on your behalf. The company pays for your health services, and an account is sent to them requesting payment.

Option 3: Agency-Managed Funds
With agency-managed funds, a registered NDIS health provider deals directly with the government’s NDIS department. Due to the complex registration and payment process, many health practitioners choose not to pursue NDIS provider registration.

Practitioners can only provide services if your NDIS funds are either plan-managed or self-managed (Options 1 or 2). If you’re unsure, it’s best to contact your NDIS Local Area Coordinator (LAC) for a review of your plan and further information.

Aged Care Claiming

Aged Care Claiming Icon

If you qualify for Aged Care Levels 1 to 4,  you may be able to claim your treatments.

Cancellation Policy

To ensure optimal service for all patients and efficient schedule management, we kindly request that you notify the clinic in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

As some appointments, including critical 60-minute slots, are in high demand, timely notice allows these slots to be reallocated to other patients in need, preventing wasted time for practitioners and missed care opportunities for waiting patients.

Please contact the clinic at 03 9380 8099 and provide at least 24 hours’ notice for any changes. Cancellations or changes made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a fee equivalent to the full cost of the originally scheduled service, which will be charged by the practitioner. By booking an appointment, you acknowledge and agree to this cancellation policy.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated, as it helps practitioners maintain the highest standard of care for all patients.
