Recognised Services

• The Gymnasium must provide the Recognised Services, namely exercise practices including pre-exercise evaluation, exercise consultations, use of exercise equipment, exercise services that are designed to address and assist with the management of the Bupa Customer’s desired health outcome (to support the treatment, palliation or amelioration of a diagnosed health condition or conditions). The exercise interventions utilised must be evidence-based and may be delivered in an individualised session (personal training), completion of an exercise program (open gym floor), in a group setting (group personal training) or within a class session.
• Recognised Services must be provided at an appropriate premise in accordance with the Provider Terms for Gymnasiums and Personal Trainers (as applicable).
  
  Recognised Services for Gymnasiums exclude:
  a) services provided by allied health providers as these services may be claimable under an allied health modality in a Bupa Customer’s Extras policy;
  b) services provided out of studios, facilities and businesses whose primary purpose is to provide services that do not attract a Benefit under the PHI Act (such as Pilates or Yoga studios);
  c) services provided by businesses that in Bupa’s reasonable opinion do not directly help to address or improve a diagnosed health condition. Examples include (but are not limited to), Martial Arts Dojo’s, Self Defence training facilities and Pole Dancing Studios.
