You do not need a referral if you are seeking treatment as a private patient.
An initial appointment is 40 minutes and subsequent appointment is 30 minutes. Extended appointments are available by request (45 minutes or 60 minutes). |
Under the CDM scheme, patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions may be referred by their doctor for physiotherapy services, with a maximum of five Medicare-subsidized treatments available each calendar year. This allocation is reset on January 1st of the following year. The treating doctor has discretion in allocating these sessions to different healthcare providers. As of July 2023, Medicare contributes $58.30 per consultation, but our clinic is unable to bulk bill Medicare. Therefore, there will be an out-of-pocket expense of $72.00 for the first consultation and $46.00 per follow up visit to cover the remainder of the consultation fee. It is not possible to receive subsidisation from both Medicare and private health insurance for the same session.
When paying for your session at our clinic, you will have to pay the full amount up front. Once that amount has been paid, we will process the Medicare rebate on the spot, which is paid directly into your account, provided you have a debit card that is linked to a Cheque or Savings account. Please keep in mind that the rebate cannot be processed on a credit card. Specifically, here are the steps:
DVA |
Your GP may refer you with a D904 form. Consultations will be billed directly to DVA.
