The Federal Government and the Health Funds :
The Australian Federal Government recently issued an directive to the Health Funds not to pay benefits to their members for treatment or medical aids (including Prescription Glasses) procured overseas or on the internet from Companies not based in Australia.
The apparent reason behind the directive is to keep Australian Health Dollars in the Australian Health System and not line the pockets of large overseas hospitals and online marketers.
AusSpecs is an Australian based company and not affected by this rule.
In fact we are now Registered Optical Providers to virtually all of the Major Health Funds.
Those websites pretending to be Australian in origin will fall foul of this new law and the losers will be the clients that buy products or have surgical procedures performed overseas, expecting to be able to claim only to be told they are not!
If you need Prescription Glasses or Prescription Sunglasses and can claim from your Health Fund the visit us at www.ausspecs.com.au
