​
Can the consultations be claimed on Private Health Insurance?
Yes, all consultations can be claimed on Private Health Insurance.
At Reclaim Health, there are HICAPS facilities available on site. After the consultation, your health fund card is simply swiped through the HICAPS terminal by the reception staff. Your claim details are entered and in seconds the whole transaction is processed. Once your claim is authorised, you simply pay the gap amount - the difference between the full fee for the treatment and the amount claimed from your health fund.
Alternatively, if you do not have your health fund card with you, an invoice will be provided that you can take to your health fund provider and claim afterwards.
Please contact your Private Health Insurance provider to determine your health fund coverage and rebate amount for chiropractic health services.

​
Do you treat WorkCover and TAC Patients?
Yes, we do see WorkCover and TAC patients. But please note, all individuals are responsible for payment of the full fee at the time of consultation, and can then claim it back from the third party payor themselves.
Third party schemes such as WorkCover and TAC attract their own individual fee structures and may only partially cover the cost of services at Optimize Sports Chiropractic, not the full consultation fee.
​
​
Do I need to pay for my appointment at the time of the consultation?
Payment in full is required at the time of consultation. This applies to all invoices including third party claims such as WorkCover and TAC.

​
How long are appointments?

There is no parking available at Reclaim Health. However, there are limited 1-hour and 2-hour parking spaces available on Nicholson Street - where the clinic is located - as well as on the surrounding streets such as Richardson Street and Reid Street.
It is recommend to allow an extra 10-15 minutes for parking, especially during peak times.
