Is Physiotherapy covered by Medicare?
Physiotherapy is not generally covered by Medicare, although, there are some exceptions. People with chronic and complex care needs who are being managed through an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) multidisciplinary care plan may be eligible to receive a Medicare rebate for up to five physiotherapy services per year on referral from a GP. Patients need to pay their account at the time of treatment and then claim a rebate from Medicare. To find out more details about Enhanced Primary Care, call the reception staff.
