Patients with both an GP Management Plan (MBS item 721) and Team Care Arrangements (MBS item 723) are eligible for Medicare rebates for a total of five (5) allied health services per calendar year (five sessions per patient each year, not for each allied health provider).
People with Type 2 Diabetes are also eligible for eight Medicare funded group services provided by Exercise Physiologists, Diabetes Educators, and Dietitians. These patients are required to have a GPMP in place and have a Type 2 Diabetes Allied Health Group Referral Form completed before being referred to one of the above health professionals for an individual assessment consultation.
Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Credentialed Diabetes Educators have joined other allied health professions in being eligible to provide services for holders of Department of Veterans Affairs Gold and White Card holders.
A range of private health insurers will provide rebates for our services - but patient must check their eligibility.
