Rebates
Medicare and DVA
You may have been referred to us under a Team Care Arrangement (TCA) from your Doctor with a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. This was formerly known as Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) and allows up to 5 sessions/rebates per year split with a team of allied health professionals. The referrals last for 12 months from date of referral and you can only have 5 sessions per calendar year. At Allied Movement you must pay our fees in full and will be reimbursed by Medicare after your appointment. For information about out of pocket expenses please email or call. DVA Health Cards (Gold and White) are accepted as payment upon a GP referral. We follow the DVA treatment cycle which stipulates communication with your referring GP and a clinical treatment plan based on 12 sessions or 12 months (whichever comes first) to formulate an appropriate exercise prescription & treatment plan that you can self manage when you are ready.
Workcover / SIRA
For worker’s compensation in NSW you will need a Doctors referral from your GP that states your injury and a recommendation to see an Exercise Physiologist. Once you have the referral you will then need an approval letter from your case manager that specifies how many appointments are covered. SIRA dictates the fees and appointment length for workers compensation in NSW. We can invoice the insurer directly only if the above requirements are met prior to your initial appointment otherwise you will have to pay our private consultation fees and be reimbursed by the insurer.
Private Health
Your private health insurance (PHI) may pay rebates on consultations with us in both initial appointments, personal sessions and group bookings. Private health item codes are as follows: 102 for initial consultation 202 for personal consultations 502 for group sessions ​ We have online HICAPS for on the spot claiming. Exercise Physiology is a part of your ‘Extras’ cover but because the funds vary you will need to check with your own individual insurer to make sure your policy includes Exercise Physiology and to see how much they will pay.
