Pay on the Day
Bodysmart is a strict "pay on the day" practice, including all initial appointments for private consultations and Motor
Vehicle (ICWA), DVA and Workers Compensation claims. If payment is not made on the day a $5 administration fee
will apply. In the case of insurance claims, with a valid GP referral, other supporting documentation and approval
from your insurer you may be able to claim a rebate for consultation fees through your employer’s Workers
Compensation fund or ICWA.
Payment Methods
Bodysmart offers HICAPS facilities, which enables you to swipe your participating health insurance card (e.g.
Medibank, HBF MBF etc) and obtain an instant rebate. Gap payments can be made with EFTPOS facilities or cash.
Bodysmart accepts most credit cards except AMEX and DINERS. Cheque payments are not accepted.
Health Coverage
All Bodysmart practitioners are registered with most Private Health Funds. Please ensure that you have checked with
your health fund to ensure coverage for the applicable service prior to your appointment. Bodysmart can not accept
responsibility for any errors or misunderstanding between patients and health funds regarding rebates.
Late Arrival Policy
We regret that late arrivals may not receive an extension of their scheduled appointment and will be charged in
accordance with their scheduled appointment as this time has been allocated to you. In special cases, and when our
schedule will allow, we may be able to accommodate a partial or full appointment. This will be at our discretion and
will only occur with proper, advanced notification of your late arrival. If your therapist is running late, due to
unforeseen circumstances, you will receive your full scheduled appointment allocation.
Cancellation and Failure to Attend Policy
Bodysmart ENFORCES the following cancellation policy:
- 4 hrs notice – no fee payable, we sincerely appreciate your advanced notice.
- 0-4 hrs notice – 75% of the consultation fee payable*.
- Failure to attend a scheduled appointment – 100% of the consultation fee payable*.
* As you did not attend your appointment in these cases we can’t allow a health fund rebate to be claimed for this fee.
You will be required to clear all fees prior to attending your next appointment with us.
Remembering your Appointment
All appointments with all practitioners are to be in written on a card. It is your responsibility to keep their
appointment card safe, and arrive at the time stated on the card. Unfortunately Bodysmart cannot be held
responsible if you fail to attend an appointment if you lose your card.
Bodysmart offers a courtesy email reminder system, however this is not intended to substitute the card written
appointment. This system is provided by a 3rd party provider and therefore we do not have total control over its
reliability.
