Is Naturopathy Covered by Private Health Insurance?

How to Check Your Cover

Log into your health fund's member portal or call member services. Ask specifically about 'naturopathy' coverage under your Extras (also called Ancillary) benefits. Key questions: is naturopathy covered? What is the annual limit? What is the per-session rebate?

Ensure you are seeing a naturopath who is a member of ANTA, NHAA, or equivalent professional body — this is required for health fund rebates.

HICAPS On-the-Spot Claiming

We have HICAPS facilities for instant claiming at the time of your appointment. Bring your health fund card — your out-of-pocket cost is the gap after the rebate is applied on the spot.

What About Other Therapies?

Kinesiology, Bowen therapy, reflexology, and sound healing coverage varies more by fund. Check specifically for each modality. Some funds cover these under 'remedial massage', 'natural therapies', or specific wellness benefits — worth checking directly.
