Chronic Disease Management plans and Team Care Arrangements

​

We are happy to see any patients under a CDM plan or TCA. For referrals, please send all appropriate paperwork including:

​

• Signed Referral form of individual allied health services under Medicare; dated and with number of allocated services.

• Signed referral letter, including patient handover 

• Any further imaging or investigations  (supplementary)

• GP management plan (supplementary)

 

Fee: Medicare currently provide patients a subsidy of $58.30 from usual physiotherapy fees, therefore a gap payment will be outstanding. Patients are required to pay full fee at time of consult. Subsidies from Medicare are then electronically claimed for the patient, at the time of our consultation. The gap (Out of pocket) payment is therefore $41.70 on a standard appointment and $71.70 for an initial appointment, is required by the patient.

 

​
