What can physiotherapy do for you?

From aches and pains to injuries and mobility disorders, physiotherapy can help treat a wide variety of conditions. Using physical techniques to restore function, reduce pain, and increase movement, physiotherapists work closely with their patients to develop personalised treatment plans to help them move well, feel well, and live well.

Physiotherapy is one of the most commonly claimed extras services. It’s included on all levels of HBF extras cover available for sale, so all you need to do is choose the best fit for you.

Physio Insurance FAQs

How much can I get back?

This will depend on the level of cover you have. After you get a treatment plan from your physio with the item numbers to be provided, give us a call to complete a benefit quote so you know exactly what benefits you are entitled to. Please note that waiting periods and annual limits may apply.

How do I claim?

You’ll generally be able to claim electronically at your physio. Swipe your HBF member card when you pay, and we will pay the provider directly, on the spot. All you will need to pay is the “gap”, which is the difference between what your physio charges and the benefit that HBF pays to your physio on your behalf.

Alternatively, you can pay the physio upfront and submit your accounts and receipts to HBF by one of the following methods:
