Using Your Private Health Cover Before Your Private Health Limits Reset
Many of us review our private health cover each year and wonder whether it’s worth keeping. For some, it’s like insurance for emergencies. For others, it’s essential for staying healthy and active.
Most health funds reset your private health limits on January 1st. Any unused benefits are lost. Unfortunately, many people wait until pain becomes severe, often requiring more treatment and exceeding their limits.
Top-level private health cover often includes low or no-gap physiotherapy, podiatry, clinical nutrition, and physiotherapy bikefit sessions. These services support injury management, prevention and overall health.
With only a few weeks left in the year, now is the best time to maximise your private health limits with the expert team at Star Physio.
