Yes - we bulk bill Medicare EPC referrals for both chiropractic and physiotherapy at our Mooloolaba and Nambour clinics. We're one of the only Sunshine Coast clinics to offer this for both services. Ask your GP about a Chronic Disease Management plan.
With a valid Medicare CDM referral from your GP, eligible patients pay nothing. Both Mooloolaba and Nambour. Both chiro and physio.
Four straightforward steps to see us at no cost to you.
Book a standard appointment with your doctor. Discuss any chronic condition you have - back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches and more may qualify.
Ask your GP for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, formerly called an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan. This covers up to 5 allied health visits per calendar year.
Contact our Mooloolaba or Nambour clinic with your referral in hand. We'll get you an appointment - same-day slots often available.
Present your CDM referral at your first visit. We bill Medicare directly - zero out-of-pocket cost for eligible appointments.
Not everyone qualifies - your GP makes this determination based on your health situation. Generally, eligible patients will have:
Medicare CDM referrals cover up to 5 allied health visits per calendar year. Those 5 visits are shared across all allied health providers you're referred to - they're not 5 separate visits per provider.
For many chronic conditions, 5 sessions is a good start, not a complete course of treatment. Think of it as an opportunity to begin care and assess your response - most patients with long-standing conditions will benefit from ongoing visits beyond their plan.
Both our Sunshine Coast locations bulk bill eligible Medicare referrals for chiropractic and physiotherapy.
Ask your GP whether any of these applies to you - many are eligible under a Chronic Disease Management referral.
Yes. Both our Mooloolaba and Nambour clinics bulk bill chiropractic for eligible patients who have a valid Medicare referral under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. You'll need that referral from your GP before your first appointment.
Yes - and this is what makes us different. We bulk bill Medicare EPC referrals for both chiropractic and physiotherapy. Most clinics only offer this for one service. You still need a CDM referral from your GP, and the 5-visit limit applies across all allied health providers combined.
Your GP decides if you're eligible. If you have a chronic condition, your doctor can prepare a Chronic Disease Management plan (formerly called an Enhanced Primary Care or EPC plan) and refer you for allied health, including chiropractic. Not everyone qualifies, so it's worth discussing with your GP.
Medicare covers up to 5 allied health visits per calendar year under a CDM plan. Importantly, this is 5 visits shared across all allied health services your GP refers you for - for example physiotherapy, podiatry and chiropractic - not 5 per provider.
For many chronic conditions, 5 sessions is a good start rather than a full course of care. Once your plan visits are used, you're welcome to continue as a private patient. If you have private health insurance with extras, you can usually claim on the spot via HICAPS. Call either clinic to discuss fees.
For bulk-billed visits, yes - you need a CDM referral from your GP before booking. Book a standard appointment with your doctor, discuss your chronic condition, and ask whether a Chronic Disease Management plan is right for you.
Absolutely. You don't need a referral to see us privately, and many patients book directly and claim through their private health fund. Call our Mooloolaba clinic on (07) 5478 2333 or Nambour on (07) 5441 4768 for current fees and availability.
Once you have your GP referral, we'll book you in - same-day slots often available at both Mooloolaba and Nambour.
