Am I eligible for a medicare rebate ?
Medicare can subsidise up to 5 dietitian sessions per annual calendar, with a rebate of $58.30 per session.
To access these rebates, you must be eligible for an an “EPC” (enhanced primary care plan) or GPMP (GP management plan).
You are eligible for an EPC if you have a chronic condition and your GP believes a multidisciplinary approach could be beneficial.
The EPC / GPMP cannot be back dated - meaning to access the rebate, you must come to your appointment with your EPC / GPMP paperwork, or get it done that day.
What about private health funds?
Depending on the type of cover you have, you can claim your dietitian consultation with your private health fund. We will send you an invoice after your appointment which you will need to do so.
