Medicare, WorkCover & CTP

Additional funding pathways to help you access physiotherapy at Physio Now.

πŸ₯ Medicare

Chronic Disease Management Plan

Medicare provides a partial rebate for up to five allied health sessions per calendar year through a GP-issued Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan β€” sometimes called an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan.

Important: You must pay the full service cost at the time of your session. You then claim your Medicare rebate separately β€” either at a Medicare office, via MyGov, or through the Medicare app. The Medicare rebate is $61.80 (item code 10960), which does not cover the full session fee.

  • GP referral required β€” ask your GP for a CDM plan
  • Up to 5 sessions per calendar year
  • Pay full fee upfront, then claim your rebate
  • Medicare rebate: $61.80 β€” item code 10960
  • Gap payment applies β€” the difference between the session fee and the rebate is your out-of-pocket cost
πŸ”§ WorkCover & CTP

Workplace Injury & Motor Vehicle Claims

We accept WorkCover SA and CTP (Compulsory Third Party) motor vehicle accident claims on a case-by-case basis. If you have an active claim, get in touch and we'll assess whether we can assist with your recovery.

  • WorkCover SA workplace injury claims
  • CTP insurance motor vehicle accident claims
  • Accepted case by case β€” contact us to discuss your situation
  • Fees per the relevant fee schedule (WorkCover or CTP)
  • Employer and insurer coordination included
  • Return-to-work focused therapy and reporting

Cost Transparency

Good Faith Estimate

We believe you have the right to understand the expected cost of your therapy before you commit. For private sessions, a good faith estimate is available upon request after you complete our clinic intake form.

  • Complete your intake form β€” start the process by creating an online account with us
  • Estimate provided on request β€” based on your intake form answers, we estimate the type, frequency and duration of sessions you may need
  • Know before you start β€” so you can make an informed decision about your care
  • No obligation β€” the estimate is not a contract or guarantee of cost, just a transparent guide
  • Actual costs may vary β€” depending on how your therapy progresses, your clinician may recommend adjustments to your plan
πŸ“‹ Your Estimate

What's Included

Your good faith estimate is personalised to your situation and typically covers:

  • Session type β€” initial assessment and follow-up sessions
  • Estimated frequency β€” how often sessions may be recommended
  • Per-session cost β€” based on current private rates
  • Estimated total β€” projected cost over the recommended period
  • Payment options β€” including health fund rebate information

Your right to know. We're committed to cost transparency. If you have questions about fees at any point during your care, just ask β€” we're always happy to explain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about fees, funding and how payments work at Physio Now.

NDIS Funding

What NDIS plan types do you accept?

We accept all three NDIS plan management types: agency managed, plan managed and self managed. Regardless of how your plan is managed, you'll receive the same quality of service.

For NDIA (agency) managed and plan managed participants, our admin team handles all invoicing directly. If you're self managed, we'll send you an invoice after each session for you to process.

How much do NDIS sessions cost?

We charge at the rates set in the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. These rates are published by the NDIA and updated periodically. We don't add any additional fees or surcharges beyond what the Price Guide allows.

Your service agreement will clearly outline all fees before therapy begins β€” no surprises.

Is travel included in my NDIS sessions?

Travel is charged separately for home visits and mobile services, per the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. There's no travel charge if you attend our Prospect clinic or use telehealth. We work to minimise your travel costs by scheduling efficiently.

Do I need a referral for NDIS sessions?

You don't need a GP referral β€” you just need an active NDIS plan with sufficient funding in your Capacity Building budget. Note that some plans require pre-approval for physiotherapy, so check with your support coordinator or plan manager first. Your support coordinator, plan manager, or you directly can submit a referral to get started.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

What happens if I miss a session?

For NDIS participants, we require at least 48 hours' notice β€” missed sessions and late cancellations may be charged per the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. For clinic, private and Medicare sessions, we ask for at least 24 hours' notice. We understand things come up β€” just let us know as early as possible.

How do I reschedule a session?

Give us a call on 08 8351 2270 or email our team. The sooner you let us know, the easier it is to find a new time that works for you.

Medicare

How does Medicare work for physiotherapy?

Your GP can create a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan that includes up to five allied health sessions per calendar year. This covers physiotherapy, but you need the GP referral first.

You pay the full service cost at the time of your session, then claim your Medicare rebate of $61.80 (item code 10960). The rebate does not cover the full fee β€” the difference is your gap payment.

How do I claim my Medicare rebate?

After your session, you can claim your rebate through MyGov online, at a Medicare office, or through the Medicare app. We provide you with the receipt and item number you need to make your claim.

See our step-by-step guide to claiming your Medicare rebate for full instructions.

Can I use Medicare and private health together?

You can't claim from both Medicare and private health insurance for the same session. However, once you've used your five Medicare sessions for the year, you may be able to claim through your private fund for additional sessions β€” check with your insurer for details.

Private, WorkCover & CTP

Do I need a referral for private sessions?

No. You can book directly β€” no GP referral is required for private physiotherapy sessions. Sign up for an online account and we'll send you an intake form to complete before your first session.

Can I claim through my private health fund?

If your private health insurance includes extras cover for physiotherapy, you may be eligible for a rebate. The amount varies by fund and plan. We provide HICAPS on-the-spot claiming where available, or a receipt for manual claiming.

How do WorkCover and CTP claims work?

We accept WorkCover SA (workplace injury) and CTP (motor vehicle accident) claims on a case-by-case basis. Fees are charged per the relevant fee schedule. Get in touch with your claim details and we'll let you know whether we can assist.

Our admin team handles all invoicing for WorkCover and CTP claims β€” you don't need to worry about billing.
