HIF may pay benefits towards Pulse Electro-magnetic Field (PEMF) pain management devices that are approved via the Therapeutics Good Administration (TGA) on selected Extras policies.
What is Pulse Electro Magnetic Field therapy?
PEMF Therapy is a form of energy therapy that emits pulsating electro-magnetic fields to restore the positive and negative charges in cells, enabling it to perform its natural function, while speeding up tissue recovery. PEMF therapy is often used for pain management and is designed to speed recovery from injury and degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis.
Who is eligible to claim for a PEMF Device?
Effective 1 August 2021, members on eligible Extras Cover policies can claim for a PEMF Device. For full details on claimable benefits, please visit our Extras cover comparison page and click 'Health Aids, Appliances and External Prothesis'.
