Medicare and Private Health Rebates
We understand that navigating the healthcare system can be confusing, especially when navigating your insurance benefits. Goulburn Eyecare is committed to helping you make the most of your optical health coverage, whether you have Medicare, private health insurance or a combination of both.
Medicare provides rebates for certain eye care services, including eye examinations, glasses and contact lenses. If you have private health insurance, you may have additional benefits that cover a wider range of services, such as designer frames, specialty lenses and contact lens solutions.
Maximising Your Benefits
Our optometrists are experts in understanding the complexities of optical health insurance and are passionate about helping you get the most out of your benefits. We'll work with you to understand your coverage and identify opportunities to maximise rebates and minimise out-of-pocket expenses.
Many health funds allocate optical entitlements per calendar year; unused benefits typically don't roll over. That means that strategic scheduling of your eye tests and eyewear purchases is important to ensure you're utilising your benefits to the fullest.
