Medicare Exercise Physiology
The Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Program
A Medicare rebate for Exercise Physiology can be accessed under the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Program, which was formerly known as the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program. To qualify for a Medicare rebate you must have a chronic condition or injury. A chronic medical condition is one that has been or is likely to be present for six months or longer, such as: Lower back pain, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory conditions, cancer, musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions and mental health conditions among others. As Exercise Physiologists specialise in treating and managing chronic conditions, we are often are valuable option for rehabilitation.
Obtaining a Referral
Firstly, you must meet the criteria which revolves primarily around chronic conditions. Secondly, you need the appropriate referral form from your General Practitioner (GP), who needs to refer you to an Exercise Physiology clinic. If you have a preferred allied health provider or service you may be able to request this. The Medicare CDM Program allows for a total of up to five rebated consultations per year with any referred allied health practitioner, such as Exercise Physiology, Dietetics, Podiatry, Physiotherapy, and Speech Pathology. Keep in mind that you will need a new referral each calendar year.
We collaborate with your GP to ensure a coordinated, goal-oriented approach to improve your overall quality of life.
Understanding the Rebate Process
At Agile Exercise Physiology, we have set up an easy system for processing Medicare rebates. All you need to do is pay the full fee at your consultation. We will then process the Medicare rebate, and you will have the rebate deposited directly into your account.
If you have any questions about obtaining a referral or how we may be able to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our friendly team!
