Medicare EPC - Gap Free
At Fit & Function Physiotherapy, we are a registered Medicare provider, which means we can offer patients access to Medicare-funded physiotherapy services through the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program. This allows eligible patients to receive up to 5 subsidized physiotherapy visits per year, significantly reducing out-of-pocket costs for those who need it most.
How to Access Your 5 Free Visits
See Your GP - To access the Medicare-funded physiotherapy sessions, the first step is to visit your general practitioner (GP). They will assess your condition and determine whether you meet the criteria for the EPC program.
Get a Referral - If you are eligible, your GP will provide you with a referral for up to 5 physiotherapy sessions under the Medicare EPC program.
Book Your Appointment - Once you have your referral, simply contact us to schedule your appointment. We will confirm your eligibility and apply the Medicare rebate to your visits.
Who is Eligible?
The EPC program is available to individuals who have chronic conditions (long-term health issues) and are referred by their GP. Conditions can range from musculoskeletal issues like lower back pain to more complex health concerns that require ongoing management. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, our team is happy to guide you through the process.
Make the most of your Medicare benefits today. If you have a chronic condition and need physiotherapy, take advantage of the 5 free visits through the EPC program. Contact us for more details or to schedule your first appointment!
