The chart below gives some indication of possible Private Healthcare Rebates for the PainPod medical devices. The claim must be made for a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) machine and your purchase receipt plus a letter of recommendation from a GP or Specialist may also be required.
Please note that the details below are subject to change at any time without warning so it is always advisable to contact your health fund directly for details relevant to your level of cover.
If you do not see your health fund listed below they may have contacted us to ask us to remove their information so it is not as easy for you to make a claim. Please call our office for further advice or contact your health fund for specific information on your eligibility for a rebate.
