HCF members can only claim benefits for services given by recognised providers.
To be recognised, providers must meet our recognition criteria. Our recognition
criteria include meeting requirements of the Private Health Insurance (Accreditation) Rule 2011 and our
Terms and Conditions for HCF Recognised Providers of General Treatment.
Natural therapists including Chinese Medicine practitioners are also required to
meet minimum training and qualification standards and belong to a professional association
that meets our requirements. Meeting our recognition requirements does not automatically
confer HCF recognition.
