No, you don’t need to—Abby appointments are already fully covered under Medicare. Private health insurance does not cover telehealth consultations that are bulk-billed. However, it may cover related medical services like medications or specialist visits.
Since Abby appointments are bulk-billed, there is no charge to the patient, meaning private health insurance claims are not necessary.
What Your Insurance Might Cover
✅ Prescription medication costs (if your policy includes extras).
✅ Pathology tests or imaging scans that aren’t covered by Medicare.
✅ Specialist visits (if your insurance includes private healthcare).
Do I Need a Receipt for My Appointment?
- Since Abby Health consultations are Medicare-funded, receipts are not required for insurance claims.
💡 If you’re unsure about your insurance policy, check with your provider to see what additional medical services are covered.
