Yes we can pay for a consultation with your health professional to give you the opportunity to tell them what is important to you in getting your life back on track.
Your treating team will work with you to identify specific SMART goals and recommend an appropriate service to meet your needs.
Your service will then bill us. You will need to give them your TAC claim number.
