MEDICARE - CHRONIC CONDITION MANAGEMENT PLAN

If you have a chronic medical condition, your General Practitioner (GP) may create a Chronic Condition Management Plan. These plans were formally called ‘Enhanced Primary Care’ plans (EPCs) and ‘Chronic Disease Management Plans’.

These management plans are designed to help more effectively coordinate the care you need from your GP and other health care providers. There is no list of eligible conditions, your GP will determine whether a plan is appropriate for you.

Once a plan is in place, it will be regularly reviewed by your GP. This is an important part of the planning cycle, where you and your GP check that your goals are being met and agree on any changes that might be needed.

Chronic Condition Management Plans that include Physiotherapy can be used at Hartwell Physiotherapy You may be eligible for up to five sessions with a medicare rebate. Your physio will provide your GP with information regarding your condition, management and progress after the first and last session.
