Private Medical Insurance

At HEALTH SHAK, we understand that navigating the world of health insurance can be overwhelming, which is why we’ve created this guide to make it easier for you to access the chiropractic care you need through your private health insurance plan.

Please note: Our chiropractor, Dr. David Harvey DC, is the healthcare professional registered with various private health insurance providers. Therefore, when communicating with your insurance company, please refer to Dr. David Harvey, Chiropractor rather than HEALTH SHAK. This will help streamline the process and ensure that your coverage is applied correctly.

How Does Private Health Insurance Work for Chiropractic Care?

Private health insurance can help cover the cost of your chiropractic treatment, allowing you to focus on your recovery without worrying about expenses. Here’s a simple breakdown of how the process works:

  1. Check with Your Provider: Contact your private health insurance provider to confirm your coverage for chiropractic treatment. They’ll let you know how many treatment sessions you are eligible for under your plan.

  2. Pre-Authorisation Number: Once confirmed, your insurance provider will issue a pre-authorisation number. This number helps us ensure that your treatment is covered and is a part of the insurance process.

  3. Treatment Approval: Once your pre-authorisation number is provided, we can go ahead and schedule your treatment sessions with our chiropractor, David.

  4. Direct Billing: We handle the rest! Our team will invoice your provider directly for the treatment sessions, so you don't have to deal with any paperwork or reimbursement hassles.
