We see self-managed and plan-managed participants. You will need a referral so your support coordinator or plan manager can include us in your plan. Reports and program notes for your plan are part of the service.
Your GP can refer you under a Chronic Disease Management plan. Medicare pays a rebate and you pay the gap. Bring the referral to your first appointment so we can process the claim through the clinic.
Gold and White Card holders are welcome. Your GP completes a D904 referral, which covers a treatment cycle of up to 12 sessions or 12 months, whichever comes first. We bill DVA directly, so there is nothing to pay at the appointment. White Card holders are covered for conditions DVA has accepted as service related.
No referral needed. Book straight in. If your private health extras cover exercise physiology you can claim on the spot through HICAPS, and your rebate depends on your level of cover.
