ExtrasMate is not a medical provider. We don't diagnose or recommend specific practitioners or treatments; we organise and show information so you can choose for yourself. The savings come from your private health rebate and the provider's own pricing, not from coupons we issue.
How to make it go further
On a family policy, check whether the limit is per person or shared by the family. Children's speech or OT sessions can use it up quickly, so plan ahead.
