What to compare
Before you book, compare these.
Check they're an APD
Dietitians aren't Ahpra-registered; insurers usually only recognise APDs.
See what's included
Ask whether it includes reviewing a food diary and meal plans, or is a one-off chat.
Read package terms
Weight-loss packages may bundle products or programs that Extras usually won't cover.
Ask fees and rebates separately
Ask the per-visit fee, then check your policy's dietetics limit.

You might also ask
How is a dietitian different from a personal trainer?
Dietitians handle eating, trainers handle exercise; they can work together. Extras usually only covers recognised dietitian visits.
Do I need a GP referral?
Not when using Extras. A GP referral is only needed under a Medicare chronic care plan.
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.
