A lot of people have private health insurance with extras and often don’t get to make the most of it. Private Health Fund Insurance Extras varies from insurance fund to fund, however it will generally cover treatments such as Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, Chiropractor, Naturopathy, Massage and much more.

In many circumstances, clients with Private Health Fund Extras can claim anywhere between $250 and more for Osteopathy per year.
