Understanding Myotherapy and Private Health Coverage: What You Need to Know

If you're suffering from muscle or joint pain, myotherapy can be an effective treatment option for you. However, many people wonder if their Medicare insurance covers this type of physical therapy. Unfortunately, myotherapy is not currently covered under Medicare. But don't worry, there are other options available to you.



​
​Many private health funds offer myotherapy coverage under their extras policies. This means that if you have private health insurance, you may be able to receive myotherapy treatment at a reduced cost or with no out-of-pocket expenses, depending on your level of cover.

At Ashburton Myotherapy, we understand that the cost of healthcare can be a concern for many people. That's why we offer HICAPS on-the-spot claiming, which makes it easy and convenient for you to claim your private health insurance rebate on the spot and only pay the gap payment.

It's important to note that coverage for myotherapy varies depending on your health fund and level of extras cover. So, before booking a myotherapy appointment, it's always a good idea to check with your health fund to see what is covered under your policy.

At Ashburton Myotherapy, we specialize in clinical myotherapy and take a holistic approach to treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Our experienced myotherapists use a range of techniques, including soft tissue massage, dry needling, and joint mobilization, to target specific muscle groups and release trigger points.
