Appointment types and services

17966539949172956.jpg
Medicare

You will most likely be eligible for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan. If you haven't used this plan for other allied health services already for the year, a GP could complete this for up to 5 Exercise Physiology sessions to receive $61.80 back from Medicare. This will be more if over the Medicare threshold.

 

You may need to advise your GP clinic when you make an appointment for the Medicare Plan that you are wanting to obtain a care plan, as many clinics have different procedures on how they do these, and you will likely need a longer appointment and/or an appointment with the GP and Nurse. 

​

Private health insurance

You may be covered for Exercise Physiology services with your private health insurance. Please check with your fund as the level of cover and conditions can vary from one insurer to another.

 *Please be aware that you can only claim on Medicare OR private health insurance for each session. It is not possible to make a claim with both for one session. 

initial assessment

  • Initial assessment are booked as 90 minutes.

  • You will spent 60 minutes with your evaluating your history and putting the pieces together for you.

  • The remaining 30 minutes will be spent creating an individualised summary of your session and providing information relevant to you and your treatment plan (this may include information to read, recommendations of health professionals to contact, tools, items to consider purchasing).
