Medicare
In Australia we are very fortunate that Medicare provides support through a Chronic Condition Management Plan, otherwise known as a Care Plan. For clients with a chronic condition such as Osteoporosis or Diabetes your GP can provide a referral entitling you to a rebate on your sessions. It is important to note there is a gap fee, we are not able to bulk bill our service.
Within a care plan you have five sessions per calendar year that can be used across all allied health providers. For example for someone with Diabetes you may choose to split the sessions between a Dietitian and an Exercise Physiologist. You GP will make suggestions of where you could allocate your session, however it is your choice.
When seeing an Exercise Physiologist at Simply Stronger we are able to process your rebate onsite. After taking full payment we will send the details directly to Medicare for you to receive your rebate directly from Medicare.
If you have any questions around any of this, reach out through the contact form, or call us on 03 9964 3889 or send us an email directly info@simplystronger.com.au and one of our team members will be able to assist you.
We are excited to become part of your care team.
