Private Health Cash Plans

Private health cash plans are designed to help cover the costs of everyday healthcare expenses. Unlike private medical insurance (PMI), which typically pays for major treatments like surgeries or specialist consultations, health cash plans reimburse you for routine healthcare costs. With these plans, you usually pay a monthly or annual premium, and in return, you can claim back a portion (or all) of the expenses for eligible treatments. These plans are frequently utilized by individuals seeking additional financial support for routine health expenses or by employers as a valuable employee benefit. Nutritional therapy consultations are among the recognized therapies included in these plans.

Westfield Health acknowledges CNHC registration for reimbursement on a limited number of corporate paid plans offered by specific employers for various ‘Therapies’: Aromatherapy, Hypnotherapy, Nutritional Therapy, Reflexology, Reiki, and services from CNHC registered Massage Therapists who practice Indian Head Massage and Sports Massage. Additionally, CNHC registered Sports Therapists who specialize in Sports Massage are also included in the reimbursement options, helping you manage healthcare expenses effectively.

Health Shield will reimburse for CNHC registered disciplines under their ‘Health and Wellbeing’ category on both individual and corporate paid plans. This includes therapies such as Alexander Technique, Aromatherapy, Bowen Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Naturopathy, Nutritional Therapy, and services from CNHC registered Nutritional Therapists who conduct Allergy Testing and Food Intolerance Testing. Other covered therapies include Reflexology, Reiki, Shiatsu, and services from CNHC registered Massage Therapists who provide Chair Massage, Indian Head Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Remedial Massage, or Sports Massage. Health Shield covers 100% of the therapy costs up to the set limit per year, depending on the health cash plans chosen.

Elect also accepts CNHC registration for reimbursement under their business health cash plans. In collaboration with Health Shield, they offer reimbursement for therapies like Alexander Technique, Aromatherapy, Bowen Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Naturopathy, Nutritional Therapy, Reflexology, Shiatsu, and services from CNHC-registered Massage Therapists providing Chair Massage, Indian Head Massage, Remedial Massage, or Sports Massage. Furthermore, CNHC-registered Sports Therapists practicing Sports Massage are included in their coverage.
