Quick answers.
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
Whether a referral is required depends on the circumstances, the service, the payer or insurer, and applicable rules. Patients can contact the clinic to ask about the requirements for their situation. A referral may also be requested when another healthcare professional's assessment or information is clinically relevant.
Can I book physiotherapy directly?
Many patients may contact a private physiotherapy clinic directly, but booking and access requirements can vary. The clinic can explain whether an assessment is appropriate and whether any referral, insurer or third-party documentation is required.
Does insurance cover physiotherapy?
Coverage varies by insurance plan and individual eligibility. Some plans may provide benefits for physiotherapy, while others may have limits, deductibles, referral requirements or other conditions. Patients should confirm coverage with their insurer. The clinic should not be assumed to guarantee reimbursement.
Does the clinic offer direct billing?
Direct billing, where available, depends on the clinic's arrangements, the insurer and the patient's eligibility. Direct billing does not necessarily mean that the insurer will pay the entire amount. Patients may remain responsible for deductibles, co-payments, non-covered services or amounts above plan limits.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Cancellation and rescheduling rules depend on the clinic's policies. Patients should review the applicable booking terms and contact the clinic as early as possible if they cannot attend. Any cancellation fees should be disclosed by the clinic in accordance with applicable requirements.
What if I am late for my appointment?
Late arrival may reduce the available treatment time or require rescheduling, depending on the clinic's procedures. Patients should contact the clinic if they expect to be late so that staff can explain the available options.
