Medicare Referrals and Rebates
Patients may be eligible for 5 Medicare subsidized physiotherapy appointments per year. Please discuss eligibility with your GP.
Sydney Mobile Vertigo Clinic accepts Medicare Referrals from a GP prescribed Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan. These were formerly called Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Plans.
However, please note we are a Mixed Billing clinic, not a Bulk Billing clinic. This means there will be a gap fee for the difference between the appointment fee minus the rebate value ($60.35).
Please ensure your GP has provided you with the referral form (shown here) completed in its entirety including the number of physiotherapy services requested, the date, and a signature (highlighted in red). We recommend requesting 3-5 services for vestibular management. Patients must provide this completed form to Sydney Mobile Vertigo Clinic for a Medicare rebate to be processed.
To process a Medicare rebate, you will be charged the full consultation fee at your appointment and the Medicare rebate will be lodged for you on your behalf. Medicare will deposit the rebate value ($60.35) into your account within 1-2 days.
Please note, a patient must provide their Medicare number and Medicare Reference number in order for a claim to be processed. Having the physical card present is not necessary.
Please note, a Medicare rebate can not be used in combination with private health fund rebate.
