Often, no. Medicare will only cover your physiotherapy costs if you have a Chronic Disease Management Plan. Previously this was known as an Enhanced Primary Care Plan or EPC. You will need to access these plans from your GP. If you speak with your doctor and are eligible for the Chronic Disease Management Plan, please let us know when you book your appointment. If you have a Chronic Disease Management Plan it entitles you to receive up to five (5) physiotherapy treatment sessions per calendar year. We can claim these treatment sessions on the spot electronically. This means that you will only have to pay the gap payment for these visits. The gap payment will be the difference between the cost of the visit and what Medicare pays.
