Private health insurance policies in Australia can cover the cost of prostheses, including the initial fitting and any necessary adjustments or repairs, if it is required for treatment under a covered treatment category. For example, if you have coverage for heart conditions and your heart treatment requires prostheses, then it may be partially covered. However, the extent of coverage may vary depending on the policy and the individual's circumstances. It is important to check with your health insurer before the fitting to understand your coverage. The device will also need to be on the Australian prostheses list.
