Not all of it
If you have been referred to the clinic by a GP under the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, Medicare will cover most of your consult with a small gap payment to be paid out of pocket. This can be used to see our Chiropractor and Osteopaths. Medicare will cover up to 5 treatments across the calendar year. You cannot use your private health AND Medicare rebate at the same time.
Yes you should arrive early for your first appointment, as you will need to fill out initial paperwork.
