Medicare and Exercise Physiology
Welcome to Move 2 Thrive Clinic, where your health and well-being are our top priorities. We are proud to offer exercise physiology services under Medicare, providing you with access to high-quality care that supports your health and recovery. Our university-trained exercise physiologists are dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness and wellness goals through personalised and evidence-based exercise programs.
What is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise physiology involves the assessment, prescription, and supervision of exercise programs tailored to individual needs. Our exercise physiologists specialise in using exercise to prevent and manage chronic diseases, assist in recovery from injuries, and enhance overall physical health.
How Medicare Benefits Work
Medicare provides coverage for exercise physiology services when you have a GP referral or are under a Chronic Disease Management plan. Under this plan, you are entitled to up to five rebateable sessions per calendar year. Most private clinics charge gap fees, which are the costs not covered by Medicare, and these must be paid at the time of your appointment. To claim, simply bring your Medicare card and ensure your GP referral is up to date. Many clinics also offer direct billing to streamline the Medicare claim process.
Patients with chronic medical conditions and complex care needs are eligible for the CDM program. To access exercise physiology services under Medicare, you need a referral from your General Practitioner (GP) who will prepare a GP Management Plan (GPMP) and, if needed, a Team Care Arrangement (TCA).
