No Gap Medicare Bulk-Billing and Enhanced Primary Care Referrals
Physiotherapy Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) referrals are an important component of the healthcare system, integrating physiotherapists into the primary care framework to improve patient outcomes.
We do not charge a gap if you provide an EPC referral from your General Practitioner. You may be eligible for up to five free sessions of physiotherapy per calendar year if you live with a chronic condition. This is a condition that lasts at least six months and may require ongoing physiotherapy treatment.
Key benefits of physiotherapy include:
Holistic Care: Integrating physiotherapy into primary care allows for a thorough evaluation of your condition, addressing physical health alongside other health determinants, such as mental and social well-being.
Enhanced Education and Self-Management: We can provide education on injury prevention and self-management strategies, empowering you to actively participate in your recovery and maintain long-term health.
Better Health Outcomes: Early physiotherapy referral can enhance recovery trajectories, reduce chronic pain management needs, and improve your overall quality of life.
At The Physio Garage, we understand the importance of accessible care for our clients. That’s why we bulk bill Medicare for clients who have an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan, ensuring there are no out-of-pocket expenses. This policy allows us to provide quality physiotherapy services without financial barriers, enabling you to focus on your recovery and well-being. If you have an EPC referral, you can rest assured that your treatment will be fully covered by Medicare. Contact us for more information on how we can support you through your physiotherapy journey.
