Can I claim a health fund rebate?Health fund rebates are available for the consultation component of our services with most funds including HCF, NIB, AHM, Medibank private, CBHS, GU Health etc. You must be covered for Nutrition (not just dietetics) in your chosen extras package. Please note: Health fund rebates are not available with BUPA or HBA at this time. If your fund is not listed or you are unsure if you are covered for Nutrition services, we urge you to contact your fund directly and ask what your rebate is for a Nutrition consultation (not dietetic).

Explain my options for test collectionThere are two options for collecting your sample. The first is to collect your own sample via finger prick. This is a simple and convenient option and requires only a few drops of blood. The 96 foods test requires 5 large drops, the 144 test requires 6 large drops, the 220 foods test requires 8-10 large drops.* * The 1cm circle on the collection card must be completely filled with each large drop of blood. If you can fill more circles, please do so for insurance. An alternative is to pay a small additional fee to receive an alternative test kit type allowing you to attend a collection centre for a professional pathology collector to collect on your behalf. Please note, this requires a venipuncture (standard blood test type from the vein in the inner elbow). Collection centres Australia wide vary depending on the state. Please see below for available options. Please note, you must select the correct option to receive the correct testing kit. Take your test kit with you to your test collection. Your sample cannot be collected without the appropriate test kit.

I'd like to lose weight, can a food intolerance test help me with this?Food intolerance may contribute to unexplained weight gain by increasing inflammation and reducing nutrient absorption. Nutritional deficiencies are a common cause of weight gain by increasing appetite and cravings whilst also reducing thyroid function and general energy. If food intolerance is the cause of your weight gain then your test will help you to personalise your diet for best results. Your Nutrition consultation will discuss the results in the context of your case and goals and will assist with further guidelines such as dietary changes, supplemental advice and your recommended treatment plan.
