As part of our ongoing commitment to our members, effective July 1, we’re now including some Telehealth services as standard on HIF Extras covers.
We're are doing this because we know it’s important to have convenient treatment options and telehealth consultations may be an effective and efficient substitute when it’s difficult to get to a face-to-face consultation.
What telehealth services are available?
- Psychology (items 701 & 801);
- Dental (item 919);
- Physiotherapy (items 811 & 812);
- Speech Pathology (items 501 & 502);
- Occupational Therapy (items 601 & 602); and
- Dietetics (items 301 & 302).
Am I eligible for telehealth services?

- check that your Extras cover includes the service that you’ll be using;
