To obtain a referral for Exercise Physiology and qualify for the rebate:
The Medicare CDM Program allows up to five rebated consultations with any referred allied health practitioner per year.
This includes services like Exercise Physiology, Podiatry, Dietetics, Physiotherapy, and Speech Pathology.
For example, your GP may refer you for three Exercise Physiology sessions and two Dietitian sessions. The five-session limit restarts each year, but you’ll need a new referral annually.
It’s not limited to the calendar year, meaning you can get a referral at any time during the year.
As of July 2023, the Medicare rebate is $58.30 per consultation, regardless of the specific service you choose.
This rate applies to both initial assessments and subsequent review consultations.
The standard consultation duration is 30 minutes.
If a longer initial assessment is required, a small gap payment may be necessary.
