Private Health Insurance & Rebates
Private health insurance rebates vary depending on your health fund and level of cover. Please check with your health fund if you would like to know your expected rebate or out-of-pocket cost.
Medicare Information
Patients attending under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan may be eligible for a Medicare rebate. Eligibility is determined by your GP, and a current referral from your GP is required.
Medicare GP Chronic Condition Management Plan
Have a Medicare Care Plan? Here’s what you need to know.
1.Aren’t my five Medicare physiotherapy sessions free?
Not necessarily!
A Medicare GP Chronic Condition Management Plan can give eligible patients access to rebates for up to five allied-health services per calendar year. That doesn’t mean five free physiotherapy appointments.
But my GP bulk-bills. Why doesn’t my physio?
Your GP and physiotherapist provide different services.
Physiotherapy is an allied health service, and physiotherapy clinics set their own consultation fees. Just because your GP bulk-bills doesn’t mean the services they refer you to are automatically bulk-billed too.
Medicare provides a fixed rebate towards eligible physiotherapy appointments. Some clinics accept that as full payment. Others charge a gap.
2.Why does Improve Your Move Physiotherapy charge a gap?
Because we believe physiotherapy should be about more than temporary pain relief.
We take time to understand your condition, identify contributing factors and develop a treatment and rehabilitation plan suited to your needs.
Our standard appointments give your physiotherapist time to assess, treat, explain and guide you.
The Medicare rebate doesn’t cover our full consultation fee. The gap is simply the difference.
3.Is the cheapest physiotherapy always the best value?
Your health deserves more than a decision based on price alone.
Not all physiotherapy appointments offer the same amount of time, assessment or rehabilitation support.
Here’s what we focus on at IYM:
- One-on-one care: Dedicated time with your physiotherapist, not shared between multiple patients.
- Finding the why: Looking beyond your symptoms to understand what’s contributing to your problem.
- Active rehabilitation: Using exercise, strength and movement-based rehabilitation where appropriate, rather than relying only on passive treatments.
- A plan moving forward: Helping you understand your condition and what you can do between appointments.
Don’t just compare the gap. Compare what you’re getting for your care.
4.What if I don’t want to pay a gap?
We understand. Cost matters too.
That’s why we also offer a shorter Medicare Express appointment with no gap for eligible patients.
The main difference is time. Our standard and longer appointments allow more time for assessment, treatment and rehabilitation planning.
For more complex problems or multiple concerns, a longer appointment may be the better choice.
Choose the appointment that suits your needs and budget.
