Worker’s Compensation

If you have not yet received a claim number from your insurance company but you believe it will be an insurance case then you will still be asked to cover the initial costs of your treatment. When your claim number has been approved and includes osteopathic treatment you will be able to claim back your costs directly from the insurance company.

If you have received a claim number from your insurance company then Worker’s Compensation insurance will cover an osteopathic treatment. Although you do not need a referral to consult an Osteopath in the ACT, your GP will expedite the approval process and manage your case. We ask that you consult your GP before, or soon after, seeing the osteopath.
