Is Osteopathic treatment covered by Medicare and private health insurance?

People with ‘extras’ cover as part of their private health insurance are able to claim a portion of their treatment costs. At CSSC we have the HICAPS facility so people with private health are able to claim on the spot and only pay for the remaining gap. Osteopathic treatment is not covered by Medicare unless you are on an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan. This is managed and provided by your GP. Consult your GP for further information.
