My GP gave me a Chronic Disease Management (CDM), formerly known as Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Plan. Can I use this at your clinic?Flex Allied Health accepts CDM/EPCs, however a gap charge will incur depending on the therapy provided. We can utilise the 5 sessions per calendar year (1st of January to 31st of December). The 5 sessions provided by Medicare can be used among different Allied Health Practitioners so it is important that you keep track of how many sessions you’ve used with this plan. It is your responsibility to know how many sessions you’ve already used in the year. If Medicare informs us or you that you have used the maximum number of services within the year, then you are responsible for paying this cost out of pocket. If you have any further questions, you may refer to Medicare for more information, or ask your GP.

I am unable to come out to the clinic, do you provide mobile services?Though we encourage appointments at the clinic due to cost of travel, resources and environment- we understand that there are circumstances where you are unable to travel. Our therapists are able to travel to you if you are within our catchment area which is approximately a 30-minute travel radius from our clinic. If you’d like to know more, please give us a call to discuss this with our administration team.
