Medicare EPC

Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) is a Medicare initiative which allows GPs to refer patients to Allied Health services for a rebated cost if they have a chronic medical condition. Medicare card holders are entitled to 5 of these sessions every calendar year.

These sessions can be a mixture of Allied Health services including physiotherapy, podiatry, exercise physiology or dietician for example. Once you have used your 5 Allied Health sessions in a 12 month period, any subsequent consults will be fully paid by yourself, with no rebate claimable from Medicare.

In order to maintain a high level of service and uphold our 30-minute duration appointment times, we require you to pay a small gap. Please note, the gap must be paid on the day, and is not coverable by private health insurance.

Consultations must be paid in full and then we can lodge your claim electronically so you are only responsible for paying the gap – no paperwork to chase up! The first time you come to visit, please bring your Care Plan which is signed and dated by your doctor.

Checklist – things to remember at your first appointment:

• GP referral
• Medicare card
