Medicare rebates are available to any patient who has a chronic disease management plan set up by their General Practitioner (GP).
Chronic medical conditions
A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and stroke. A GP will assess if you have a chronic condition which can benefit from treatment via physiotherapy.
At Southern Riverina Physiotherapy we bulk bill all patients with a chronic disease management plan set out by their GP. This aims to provide affordable Physiotherapy in the Southern Riverina to the populations who most readily require Physiotherapy.
Medicare rebates for a maximum of five Allied Health Appointments are available each calendar year once you have your GP set out a chronic disease management plan.
