Can I claim private health rebates for Clinical Pilates Classes?

TAS Team

Yes—if your private health insurance policy includes cover for physiotherapy you can claim for these exercise-based sessions. Rebates will differ depending on your policy, so please speak to your insurer.

PLEASE NOTE, for claiming purposes all Clinical Pilates classes with 2-3 participants are classified as Group Physiotherapy consultations (HICAPS code 560) according to the following criteria.

  • A pre-intervention assessment is conducted by a physiotherapist (your initial assessment)
  • The class program is tailored to your individual needs
  • Clinical record keeping is maintained (our staff record notes at each session)
  • The session is taken by a physiotherapist
  • A re-assessment occurs regularly based on the physiotherapist’s clinical judgement
  • The Group class has a maximum of 5 participants
