What is an Medicare EPC plan and am I eligible?
A Medicare EPC plan, which stands for “Enhanced Primary Care” plan, is a government scheme that allows patients with chronic medical or physical conditions to access a limited number ( 5 ) of subsidised allied health services like physiotherapy, podiatry, or exercise physiology each year, provided their GP creates a care plan specifically for them.
To be eligible, you must have a chronic condition that has been present for at least six months or will probably last six months and your GP needs to assess your need for ongoing management with an allied health professional.
Talk to your GP about your eligibility. We charge a $40 gap fee to ensure our service fees are covered after the Medicare contribution.
Can a Physio write a medical certificate?
Yes – if it is for a condition that a Physio can diagnose and manage – ie back pain, acute neck pain. We cannot write a certificate if you are medical unwell or for psychological conditions.
