177 Trimmer Parade, Seaton SA 5023Physiotherapy for ahm Members in Seaton
ahm accepted — claim on the spot
Claim on the spot, no referral, five minutes from West Lakes.
ahm members are welcome at UpPlus Physiotherapy and claim on the spot through HICAPS — your rebate comes off at reception and you pay only the gap.
ahm is part of the Medibank group but runs its own policies and its own extras structure, so your physiotherapy benefit follows your ahm cover rather than Medibank's. If you hold a Medibank card instead, our Medibank page is the relevant one.
Claiming your ahm rebate at UpPlus
We claim at reception through HICAPS, so your ahm rebate is deducted immediately and you pay only the difference by card. Nothing is posted, nothing is reimbursed weeks later, and you leave with the claim already settled.
- Bring your fund card — the physical card or the one in your fund's app.
- No referral required. Physiotherapy is a direct-access profession in Australia.
- Pay the gap only, by card, on the day.
- Tell us if you are near your annual limit so we can plan treatment around it.

Fees are current at the date of publication and may change. Your rebate depends on your level of extras cover, your annual limit and any waiting periods, so the gap you pay is set by your fund, not by us. Your fund can confirm your exact rebate before you attend.
New patients can also use our initial consultation offer — terms are on that page.
How ahm extras handle physiotherapy
ahm's extras are built around picking the services you actually use rather than paying for a broad package, which is what makes them cheaper — and also what makes checking worthwhile. On some ahm covers physiotherapy is included generously; on others it is excluded entirely or capped low.
The number that matters is the benefit per consultation, and after that the annual limit. Both are in your ahm online account. It is a five-minute check that decides whether a course of treatment costs you very little or a fair amount, so it is worth doing before the first visit rather than the fourth.
ahm and the Medibank group
ahm is underwritten by Medibank Private but sold and administered as its own brand with its own product range. Being a Medibank Members' Choice provider does not automatically translate to ahm policies, so we do not claim it does — your ahm benefit is whatever your ahm cover says it is, and we will process the claim either way.
ahm is part of the Medibank group — see our Medibank page if that is the card you hold.
What we treat
Our Seaton clinic on Trimmer Parade sees back and neck pain, shoulder and knee problems, sporting injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, work injuries and persistent pain. Alongside hands-on treatment we offer dry needling, shockwave therapy and hydrotherapy, and we see patients from Grange, West Lakes, Findon, Fulham Gardens and Port Adelaide.
ahm physiotherapy questions
Can I claim ahm on the spot?
Yes. We process ahm claims through HICAPS at reception and you pay only the remaining gap by card.
Is my ahm rebate the same as a Medibank member's?
Not necessarily. ahm and Medibank policies are structured differently, so benefits follow your own ahm cover. ahm can confirm your physiotherapy rebate before you attend.
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. Physiotherapy is a primary contact profession in Australia, so you can book directly with us. A GP referral only becomes relevant when the treatment is funded by Medicare, DVA or WorkCover rather than your private extras.
What if I have already used my annual physiotherapy limit?
You can still be treated — you simply pay the full fee for those visits with no rebate. Tell us if you are close to your limit and we will plan your treatment around it, which usually means spacing visits and giving you more to do at home between them.
Do waiting periods apply to physiotherapy?
Usually yes, on a new policy or after an upgrade. Extras waiting periods for physiotherapy are commonly two months, though this varies by fund and by policy. Your fund can tell you the exact date you become eligible.
Contacting ahm
We can tell you our fee. Only ahm can tell you your rebate, your remaining annual limit and whether any waiting period still applies — so if you want to know your exact out-of-pocket before you book, they are the ones to ask.
