Chronic Disease Management

Chronic Disease Management

Physiotherapy can help reduce pain and disability, and improve poor function and mobility, that is associated with a number of medical conditions & disease such as:

• Chronic lower back and neck pain

• Arthritis and joint pain

• Stroke or other neurological condition

• Cancer

• Diabetes

• Cardiovascular / heart disease

• Pulmonary / Lung disease

If you have a chronic condition, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate
for up to 5 physiotherapy visits per calendar year.

You must speak to your GP to ask if you are eligible for a referral through Medicare for the Chronic Disease Management scheme (Also called EPC/Enhanced Primary Care). ***There are strict eligibility criteria and therefore no guarantee that a referral can be made.
