About Us
Here are a few answers to some frequently asked questions about us and our programs which might answer your query.
Where does Specialised Health cover?
In NZ, our Exercise Physiologists are based in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Nelson.
Where do you perform your programs?
Our programs can be delivered in a local gym if you agree your client needs to get out into the community more. They can be in a local pool facility if they need to start with some hydrotherapy, in an outdoor park, or in their home if they’d prefer to start there and if the goals are very ADL focused. And of course, we offer online services via telehealth.
What conditions do you specialise in?
Specialised Health’s EPs are all skilled in musculoskeletal rehabilitation as well as providing exercise programming and management to assist with other chronic conditions including post-cancer rehabilitation, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety and depression, neurological disorders, cardiac conditions, lifestyle diseases, and chronic pain.
Do Specialised Health’s EP’s understand the RTW process?
Specialised Health takes an enormous amount of pride in the fact that our EPs all have a fantastic knowledge of the compensable schemes. Our Director, Brad Domek, has over 10 years of experience as an Occupational Rehabilitation Provider and there are over 80 combined years of work in the compensable schemes across the rest of the team. As a result, all of our EPs are familiar with case conferencing, RTW planning, and setting outcome based milestones.
How much does Specialised Health charge?
Our hourly rate is $170 exc GST, charged for all services including sessions, reporting, and travel. Each referral will be assessed individually in terms of its complexity, and approval will be sought for initial assessment funding from the Insurer, before proceeding with any services.
Will we receive a report after your assessment?
The assessment report will be forwarded to the Insurer following the assessment as well as any parties for whom the customer has provided information consent. The report will detail all findings, recommendations, and the costs of any recommended interventions.
