Private speech pathology services are covered under many health fund plans under “extras” cover. The level of rebate depends on your individual policy, including the type of cover you hold, your annual limits, and any applicable waiting periods.

We recommend contacting your private health insurer prior to your appointment to confirm:

• Whether speech pathology is included in your extras cover
• The rebate amount per session or percentage covered
• Your annual limits for allied health services
• Any waiting periods that may apply

Some funds may require specific item numbers to process claims. Common item numbers used for speech pathology services include:

• 320 – Speech Pathology Assessment
• 340 – Speech Pathology Therapy Consultation

Receipts are provided after each appointment for submission to your health fund.
