The best private health insurers support you to cover the cost of your health care. They collaborate with health care professionals delivering treatment to provide you with a benefit (a sum of money from your health fund). But who are these insurers and why are they important?
This article will help you to understand why the Chiropractic benefit is relevant, which are the top 5 Private Health Services for Chiropractic and, where are the local experts that will help you whenever you need them.
Why a Chiropractic benefit is relevant?
The chiropractic benefit is a fundamental support for our Australian population. Australia is severely impacted by chronic back pain, as proven by current reports indicating the following: 1
1 in 5 GP consultations involves a patient with chronic pain.
Chronic pain costs the Australian economy $34+ billion per year.
Effective and timely treatment could reduce this cost by 50%.
40% of forced early retirements in people of working age are due to chronic back pain.
In view of these issues, it is of vital importance to find the top private health services that could benefit your chiropractic needs, as these matters are not covered under the Medicare Benefits Scheme.
Chiropractic treatments are designed to address chronic back pain, back injuries, sports injuries, lower back pain and/or leg pain (sciatica), neck pain, headaches and migraines, joints issues (e.g. knees, shoulders, extremities), repetitive strains, arthritic pain, posture issues and many other connected problems2.
Therefore, to claim a Chiropractor treatment, you need to find a health policy/cove that includes chiropractic within its “extra” benefits (general treatment cover or ancillary cover). Such type of cover may also support you with health services like massage, osteopathy, physiotherapy and many others.
