Private health insurance rebates for naturopathy and western herbal medicine returned in Australia from April 2026.
As a fully qualified and insured practitioner, and a member of a recognised professional association, you may be eligible to claim a rebate for your consultation depending on your level of extras cover and health fund.
Rebates are currently available through selected providers, with more expected to be included as policies are updated.
Provider numbers are issued individually through each health fund, and eligibility and rebate amounts will vary. I recommend checking directly with your insurer to confirm your level of cover.
A detailed invoice can be provided after your consultation to support your claim.
