Medicare
Under Medicare, we will bulk bill patients on a Chronic Disease Management Plan (formally Enhanced Primary Care Plan or ECP) at one of our clinics.
Your General Practitioner will decide if you or your family member is eligible for the Chronic Disease Management Program. There is a maximum of five sessions per calendar year only and you will need to bring along your referral form to the first session to be bulk billed. We charge a gap fee for home visits, ask us about it now.
A speech pathology report will be sent to your General Practitioner at the beginning and conclusion of the given sessions.
