What is a Medicare Care Plan?
An Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan, part of the Medicare Benefits Schedule, allows General Practitioners (GPs) to coordinate treatment for patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions in collaboration with other healthcare providers, such as Physiotherapists.
Under the EPC plan, patients are eligible for up to 5 Medicare-rebated consultations per calendar year, which can be renewed annually with your GP.
Please note: Patients are required to pay their usual full private fees for physiotherapy consultations. Medicare will then process the rebate and deposit it directly into your nominated account, when you present your debit card.
For more information or to find out if you qualify for an EPC plan, please speak with your Physiotherapist or GP.
