Exercise Physiology with private health insurance in Perth
If your extras cover includes exercise physiology, you may be able to claim part of each session back from your fund. No referral is needed, and sessions come to you anywhere across the Perth metropolitan area.
Claiming through your extras cover
Most Australian health funds include exercise physiology under extras cover, but what you can claim depends on your fund, your level of cover and how much of your annual limit you have already used. A quick call to your fund before the first session tells you exactly where you stand.
You pay for the session on the day and claim the rebate through your fund. Motus provides an itemised receipt with the provider and item details your fund asks for, so the claim is straightforward.
Private health is often the simplest way to start: there is no referral to arrange and no plan to wait on. Sessions happen in your own home, local gym or a community setting, and the program is built around what you want to get back to, whether that is a pain-free walk, returning to sport or recovering well after surgery.
Who this suits
- Anyone with extras cover that includes exercise physiology
- People managing hip, knee or lower back pain who want to start without arranging a referral
- Pre- and post-operative clients who want supervised rehab at home
- Active people returning to sport or training after injury
- Anyone whose Medicare plan sessions have run out but who wants to keep progressing
A longer first appointment covering your history, what is getting in the way, your goals, and a physical assessment of movement, strength and function.
Each session is paid on the day. The program is built around your goals and the space and equipment you already have access to.
Use the itemised receipt to claim through your fund's app or website. Ask at booking if you have any questions about claiming.
