BREAKING NEWS!
Private health insurance coverage of Naturopathy has been restored!

Following a Natural Therapies Review, the Federal Health Minister has announced that Naturopathy will be added back into the private health insurance rebates benefit after it was removed in 2019.

Chief Medical Officer, Professor Michael Kidd AO, supported by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), was satisfied there was enough evidence that these therapies are effective, and has allowed them to return to being supported by private health insurance.

As an evidence-based Clinic, Natural Medicine Family Practice has long believed in the benefits of Naturopathy for our patients and is delighted to hear this news. Returning these services to the private health care scheme gives patients with private insurance the option to have some of their costs rebated and importantly recognises their right to choose where they receive advice from.

What does this mean for our patients?

Health Minister Mark Butler has stated "Coverage of natural therapies remains a decision for insurers. Insurers which choose to cover the therapies will work with the natural therapies sector on coverage and to re-establish provider credentials".

In practical terms, while this is an exciting development it may be some months before patients can potentially claim rebates for Naturopathy consults. The presumption is that health insurance funds will now work to include these services in clients policies and will advise when this option is available.

Natural Medicine Family Practice thanks our associations including NHAA & ANTA for their advocacy and perseverance over the last 6 years in representing Naturopaths to have our skills and knowledge recognised again. This is a great step forward for Australians having a choice in their own health care.
