Healthcare Cash Plans?

Healthcare cash plans are insurance policies that instead of covering for treatment of acute medical conditions, help pay for the cost of routine healthcare such as going to the dentist, opticians, physio or in some cases, sports massage.

The following private Healthcare Cash plans recognise SMA & FHT members as providers of treatment, and consequently your clients may be entitled to claim back all, or part of the cost of their treatment.

​

Medicash: Only some plans cover sports massage (if they have selected complementary therapists), and the amount clients can claim varies from 50 to 100% of the treatment cost depending on the policy.

Simply Health: Bbe aware that not all plans (Optimise Plus is one) cover sports massage and the amount clients can claim varies from 50 to 100% of the treatment cost depending on the policy (advise client to check policy first) link to details
