What to compare

Ask about preconception experience
Some dietitians focus on women's health and preconception.
Length and language
Ask how long the first visit is and which languages they speak.
Ask fees and rebates separately
Ask the per-visit fee, then check your dietetics limit.

You might also ask
Should my partner come too?
You can go together; eating habits are usually a family thing. Arrange it with the dietitian.
Can a dietitian prescribe supplements?
They can advise, but confirm supplements and doses with your GP.
What should I look at before rebates?
First work out what kind of care you need, who provides it and how they charge, then see what Extras pays. Rebates only matter once the service is right.
Can I use ExtrasMate without private health insurance?
Yes. The service guide and provider search are free for everyone; you just pay the provider yourself.
Once I've chosen, how do I know if Extras will pay?
Ask the provider for the item number and price, then check in your insurer's app or by phone. Or add us on WeChat and we'll check for you.
Is a provider offer the same as an Extras rebate?
No. Rebates are paid by your insurer under your policy; offers are discounts from the provider. Their conditions differ, so confirm each.
What can you do on WeChat? Can you book for me?
Yes. We can explain your policy's conditions, compare providers, find offers that apply and book for you, free.
