Medicare Physiotherapy - CDM

Medicare Subsidised Physiotherapy

under Medicare’s Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan

These chronic conditions require initially to be assessed by a doctor and referred if deemed appropriate for physiotherapy treatment. Patients need to qualify with certain chronic medical condition criteria that your local doctor fully understands. If you qualify, Medicare will pay a significant rebate up to 5 treatments per year for allied health treatment such as physiotherapy. There is a small gap to pay above this rebate. Reception staff will explain how this works.
