What is a Medicare Care Plan?
An Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) is a plan on the Medicare Benefits Schedule where GPs are able to plan treatment for patients who suffer from a chronic or terminal medical condition with other medical providers such as Physiotherapists.
EPC allows for a total of up to 5x Medicare rebated consults in a calendar year. Renew each calendar year with your General Practitioner. Medicare covers a portion of the consultation via your Medicare card number and you are charged the ‘gap’ fee to Private Consultation.
Please speak to your Physiotherapist or GP to determine if you will qualify for an EPC.
- Please Note that you are required to pay the full fees for the physiotherapy consultation and then Medicare Rebate will be processed for you when you present your debit card.
