Does Medicare cover my treatment?
Posted on 23 November, 2015 / Written by admin

Medicare does not generally cover Physiotherapy, however you may be eligible for the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) scheme, a government scheme that can attract a rebate from Medicare ($54.60 at the time of writing). Certain requirements must be met including that your condition is chronic and the submission of an EPC Action Plan by your GP. Under the EPC scheme you can have a total of 5 visits to allied health professionals (physiotherapists, podiatrists, dietitians) per calendar year. As the rebate does not cover the entire cost of your treatment, you will be responsible for part of your payment ($37.50).
