As you may be aware there will be changes to health funds rebates for Pilates from 1 April 2019. I am pleased to inform you that the APA has won a hard-fought battle ensuring Pilates exercises prescribed by physiotherapists as part of an individualised program will continue to receive rebates in one-on-one, group and class settings.
This will mean from 1 April 2019 to claim your ‘Physio Exercise Session’ with your health fund, you will now be required to have a Physiotherapy Assessment before commencing Pilates classes. For further enquiries regarding your eligibility to claim Pilates classes, please contact your health fund.
