Help with the Costs
If your health is being affected by a condition that can be treated with physiotherapy, then Medicare as well as private health insurance can help pay for the costs.

It's easy, fast and secure.
Private Health Insurance
Most private health insurance companies offer an extras policy that covers some out-of-hospital services that include physiotherapy costs up to an annual limit. Depending on your level of cover, a hospital policy may also cover physiotherapy costs that you incur while an admitted inpatient. Again, this must be within the limits of your individual policy.
Talk with your insurer to find out the limits of your policy.
Medicare
Physiotherapy is covered by Medicare provided it is a chronic and complex musculoskeletal condition that requires specific treatment and is included in a Patient Care Plan. Medicare will cover 85% of a service under the following conditions:
-
the person is referred to the eligible physiotherapist by a medical practitioner.
-
the person is not an admitted patient of a hospital.
-
the service is provided to the person individually and in person.
-
the service is of at least 20 minutes duration.
-
after the service, the eligible physiotherapist provides a written report to the referring medical practitioner.
-
a maximum of 5 services are allowed per calendar year
