Bupa Members First chiropractor in Modbury North

Every chiropractor at Health First is Bupa preferred, so you get more back from your extras than at a chiropractor outside Bupa’s network. With eligible cover, that’s 50% or more back on chiropractic consultations,^ claimed on the spot through HICAPS. You just pay the gap.

No referral needed · Same-day appointments often available

Why Members First matters

Choose Members First and get more back

That means more of your extras working for you and a smaller gap on the day. And because every chiropractor on our team is Bupa preferred, you get the higher benefit whoever you book with.

$0 for kids’ chiro

On an eligible Bupa family policy with combined hospital and extras cover, chiropractic consultations for your child dependants cost you nothing out of pocket, up to yearly limits.^

Your choice of chiropractor

Four chiropractors, male and female, offering hands-on adjusting or gentle, low-force techniques. Every one of them is Bupa preferred, so you get the same Members First benefit whoever you book with.
