If you're seeking counselling and therapy sessions through your Vitality health insurance, you’re making an essential investment in your mental health. Vitality offers comprehensive coverage for mental health services, including counselling and therapy.
This guide will walk you through the process of making a claim and booking sessions with a trusted accredited therapist like Kellyanne Fitzgibbon using the Care Hub or the Vitality GP app.
Step 1: Understand your Vitality Health Insurance Coverage
Before you begin, it's crucial to understand your Vitality health insurance coverage. Different plans provide varying levels of coverage for mental health services.
Review your policy documents or log in to your Vitality member account to check:

Any requirements for pre-authorization or GP referrals.

Your co-payment obligations, if applicable.
Step 2: Obtain a GP Referral if Necessary
Certain Vitality plans may require a referral from a general practitioner (GP) to access mental health services. Check your policy details or contact Vitality customer service to determine if a referral is needed. If required, book an appointment with your GP to discuss your mental health concerns and obtain a referral.
