Funding

Private health insurance

The rebate a private health insurance will pay per session will depend on your insurance policy. We can usually use HICAPS for on-the-spot EFTPOS claiming. You can also use your invoice to claim back part of the appointment cost. 

Medicare Care Plan

Anyone with a chronic or complex medical condition might be eligible for a chronic disease management plan (CDM - previously known as Enhanced Primary Care or EPC) through their GP. The GP can address the plan to me.

A maximum of 5 allied health services per year can be supported by Medicare.
