Do You Need Bulk Billing Physiotherapy?

If You Have A Medicare Referral From Your Doctor We Can Bulk Bill Up To Five Physiotherapy Appointments Each Year.

Range Rehab’s mission is to provide high quality affordable physiotherapy.

We are a bulk billing physiotherapy clinic, unfortunately this program is not available to everyone. You are required to get a special referral from your doctor before Medicare allows us to bulk bill physiotherapy visits. Under this program eligible people can receive up to five bulk billed physiotherapy treatments each year.

Medicare has provided your doctor with a strict eligibility criteria. You must have the following:

  • Pain or symptoms more than six months,

  • Complex injury requiring more than one health professionals,

  • Completed referral from doctor.

Typically bulk billed physiotherapy visits are only available to chronic and complex injuries including:

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Fractures

  • Degeneration

  • Chronic muscle tears and tendinopathy

  • All eligible patients with chronic illnesses or terminal diseases can receive 5 Medicare-funded health sessions per calendar year beyond their current health insurance coverage. Patients can spread these 5 sessions across different health services, or use them solely for physiotherapy services.

    The bulk-billed physiotherapy services operate with Medicare funding. Payment processing will be completely seamless by automating it, making your experience a non-hassle. All your bulk billed sessions are automatically charged to Medicare, so you never have to pay out of your pocket.

  • Qualifying for bulk-billed physiotherapy is a straightforward process. Consult your GP and check with them whether you are eligible to join a GP referral program, Chronic Disease Management (CARE Plan), or enhance primary care (EPC).

    Once you get the referral plan, you will need a referral from your GP. To reiterate, we cannot provide the referral; it must come from your GP. Unlike a regular GP referral, a CARE plan referral gives you access to a limited number (annually) of physiotherapy sessions that do not come with any out-of-pocket costs.

  • As the Australian government offers the subsidised treatment, Range Rehab is mandated to periodically assess and share reports of your progress with concerned authorities, as requested and at regular intervals.

    Besides the mandatory reporting, we do not share your information with any third-party functionaries.
