UpPlus Physiotherapy in Seaton treats GU Health members and claims at reception through HICAPS, so your rebate comes off immediately and you pay only the gap. No referral is needed to book.
Because UpPlus Physiotherapy is an nib First Choice provider, First Choice benefits usually extend to GU Health members. Corporate covers are often more generous on extras than retail policies, so it is worth checking what your employer's plan actually includes rather than assuming.
Claiming your GU Health rebate at UpPlus
We claim at reception through HICAPS, so your GU Health 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.

How your physiotherapy benefit works
Because nib underwrites this cover, physiotherapy benefits work the way nib's do: a benefit paid per consultation and an annual limit, both set by the tier you hold. Some policies apply a physiotherapy sub-limit inside a broader extras pool, which means your physiotherapy allowance can run out while the overall limit still shows a balance.
That is the figure worth asking about specifically. Extras waiting periods also apply on a new policy or after an upgrade, so confirm the date you become eligible before booking a course of treatment rather than after the first visit.
Who this cover is for
GU Health is Australia's specialist corporate health insurer, providing cover arranged through employers. It is part of the nib group and claims run through nib's systems.
This cover is underwritten by nib — see our nib page for how the First Choice network works.
Whatever your cover, we treat back and neck pain, shoulder and knee problems, sporting injuries and post-operative rehabilitation at our Seaton clinic — including dry needling, shockwave therapy and hydrotherapy.
