Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM)
The Chronic Diseases Management Plan (CDM), previously known as the Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC), is a Medicare-rebated funding program for people who have chronic medical conditions (classified as a condition that has been present for at least six months). The CDM provides eligible clients with a partial rebate for up to five (maximum) visits across a calendar year for Allied Health services. The five visits can be allocated across the Allied Health therapists if you need to access more than one type of therapy.
How Can We Access This Funding?
To access this type of funding, please meet with your GP to discuss eligibility. Your child may be eligible for this funding package if they have had a chronic medical condition for six months or more. You can inform your GP of how you would like to allocate the five visits, and for which therapists. Your GP will give you a form for you to bring to your appointment. After you receive this form, you are entitled to claim under the CDM.Appointments are paid for as usual. Centre of Movement will provide you with a receipt to submit to Medicare for a rebate. CDM-funded sessions cannot be paid for through your private health fund.
