Bulk Billing for GP Referred EPC / CDM Patients

Befit Physiotherapy offers quality care for a range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, muscle pain, tendon and ligament sprains and strains as well as care for ankle, foot, knee, shoulder, and hip pain. We use various treatment techniques to treat the patients and get them pain-free, these include Exercise Therapy, Inferential Therapy, Joint Mobilisation, Laser Therapy, Manual Therapy, Taping and Strapping, Fracture Casting, etc.

Some chronic conditions are subsidised by Medicare for Physiotherapy and a doctor’s (GP’s) referral is required with an ‘Enhanced Primary Care” (EPC)  Plan for  Chronic Disease Management (CDM). Eligible patients can qualify for a maximum of five Physiotherapy sessions per calendar year. Speak to your GP for more information and see if you qualify.

The physiotherapy treatment is carried out as per medicare guidelines and you need to specify your GP name and EPC/CDM details while booking. Please bring your EPC/CDM referral letter and you can  claim your Medicare (Bulk Billing) benefit on the spot with our HICAPS machine to save you from the hassle of claiming with Medicare.

The Medicare EPC rebate process is a bit different from the typical bulk billing process. The first step is that the Patient has to pay the applicable fee upfront. We use the patient’s Medicare card with a savings or cheque account to refund $58.30 back to patient’s account, to help minimise out of pocket expenses for the patient.

We provide these services at No GAP to patients at our Carlingford clinic so that there is no out-of-pocket cost for you. Please note that this “no Gap” EPC/CDM service, similar to Bulk Billing is provided by our select Physiotherapists only as available in the appointment booking page. Our Senior/Principal Physiotherapists do charge a Gap.

Please bring your EPC/CDM referral letter from your GP. To avail the offer, please mention Bulk Billing/EPC No GAP treatment  at the time of booking and for online bookings please use the appointment type – EPC / CDM Care Plan – No Gap.
