How do I join the small group exercise class?

Can I claim a health fund rebate through private health insurance?
Yes, as long as you have extras cover and haven't exhausted your annual allowance.

How much is the health fund rebate?
It varies between health funds. Most pay a higher rebate for an initial consultation. Some funds pay a percentage of the consultation fee, whereas others pay a fixed amount. It's worth checking your policy to see how much you are eligible to claim.

The health fund rebate can be claimed at your session using a HICAPS terminal.

Gap payments (the amount remaining after deducting the rebate) can be paid via EFTPOS, EFT, or cash.
