What should I know?
Some people with a chronic condition may be eligible for Medicare benefits for a limited number of individual allied health services in a calendar year when the relevant plan and referral requirements are met. Eligibility and out-of-pocket costs vary.
Before booking
- Ask your GP whether you meet the current criteria and whether a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan and referral are appropriate.
- Confirm with the clinic that the requested service and provider can accept the referral, what documents are required and whether any gap or fee applies.
- For current rules, see the official Medicare Benefits Schedule and Services Australia information.
This website does not guarantee eligibility, bulk billing, insurer approval or NDIS funding. Confirm current requirements with the relevant government agency, insurer, plan manager, GP and clinic.
