For Professional Clinical Members

- Please note that in the interests of providing members of the AACHP with accurate and up-to-date information, we do conduct regular extensive reviews of all known private health funds currently offering rebates for hypnotherapy. This is a challenging task because the health funds can and do change the terms and conditions of their policies which can lead to confusion for practitioners and their clients.
As at May 2016, 9 health funds currently offering rebates for hypnotherapy confirmed provider status for AACHP Professional Clinical Members.
Members will find a comprehensive list on the Members' Page of this website together with details about how to obtain the relevant provider numbers and the requirements for invoicing of clients wishing to claim a rebate.
