Private health insurance

NAS73359

I have a three and half year old son who I am 99% sure has Aspergers. I haven't picked up the phone to the GP yet and so thus far there is nothing on his medical record. We have private health insurance through AXA and have not paid for the mental health option. Is Aspergers classed as a Neurological or Psychiatric issue? ie ought I add the mental health option before I talk to the GP?

  • Since Asperger's (and other autism stuff) can sometimes be seen more as a brain development thing than a mental health issue, you might wanna check with AXA to see how they label it. That way, you’ll know if you even need mental health coverage before chatting with your GP. Just makes sure you’ve got everything sorted for your son.
