Rebates

private health

Many private health funds do provide some coverage for speech pathology services. It is best that you check with your individual provider to check that your specific level of cover entitles you to a rebate and what limits apply. Quoting the following item numbers will help your fund to identify if you have coverage:

  • 320: item number for speech pathology assessment

  • 340: item number for speech pathology consultation

medicare

Generally speech pathology services are not covered by medicare when using private providers. However, there are instances where rebates may apply (note that rebates do not cover the full cost of services):

This includes Autism assessments. Please see the Services Australia website for the most up to date information regarding this.

  2. CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT PLAN: This is a plan that can be activated by your GP if you have a chronic medical condition.
