Chiropractic Care With a GP Referral
Did you know you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on chiropractic visits through an Extended Care Plan (ECP) or Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan from your GP? It’s an accessible way to receive ongoing chiropractic visits for long-term conditions while managing your healthcare costs.
Who Can Benefit From a GP Referral?
If you’ve been managing ongoing concerns such as back pain, neck discomfort, headaches, or joint stiffness, your GP may include chiropractic care as part of your personalised health plan. This referral connects you with chiropractic visits that complement your GP’s management plan, aiming to support your comfort and mobility.
How the Process Works
- Visit your GP to discuss your condition and ask if you qualify for an ECP or CDM plan.
- If eligible, your GP will include chiropractic care in your plan.
- Book your visit with us and bring your referral form—we’ll handle the rest.
What’s Covered Under the Plan?
Through an Extended Care Plan, Medicare offers a rebate for up to five allied health visits per calendar year, which may include chiropractic care. This means you can continue caring for your spinal health while helping to manage out-of-pocket costs. Our team can assist with completing the required documentation so you can focus on your wellbeing.
