Medicare’s Chronic Disease Management (CDM) program allows for osteopathic treatment which may be of value in restoring health to patients suffering from chronic conditions. You may be able to claim Medicare rebates for osteopathic treatment under the CDM program if you have a chronic medical condition that is being managed by your GP.
The need for your treatment must be directly related to your chronic condition.  A doctors referral is required and a limit of five consultations per year applies.
Osteopath to Health meets the required eligibility criteria and is registered with Medicare Australia.  In most cases a gap payment will also be payable.
