Chiropractic Bulk Billing in Newcastle

At Family Life Chiropractic, we are dedicated to providing high-quality chiropractic care to support your overall well-being. We proudly offer services under the Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program, specifically designed to assist patients with chronic conditions. Our mission is to make effective chiropractic treatments accessible and affordable for everyone in the Newcastle community.

Understanding the Medicare EPC Program

The Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program, also known as the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, enables patients with chronic medical conditions to access subsidised allied health services, including chiropractic care. This initiative helps promote early intervention and comprehensive management of musculoskeletal conditions, ensuring better health outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Chronic Conditions: This program is suitable for individuals with chronic conditions such as neck pain, back pain, or other musculoskeletal disorders that have persisted for more than six months.
  • Referral Requirement: To access these services, patients need a referral from their General Practitioner (GP). The GP will assess the condition and, if appropriate, complete an EPC referral form.
  • Medicare Benefits Schedule: A more detail explanation of the team care arrangement with allied health professional can be found at the MBS Online

Benefits of the EPC Program

Participating in the Medicare EPC program offers several advantages:

  • Comprehensive Care Management: By coordinating your care with other health professionals, the EPC plan ensures a holistic approach to managing your chronic condition.
  • Financial Relief: The program provides significant financial support via medicare subsidising up to five chiropractic sessions per year, making essential care more accessible.
  • Improved Health Outcomes: Early intervention and consistent chiropractic care can lead to better management of chronic conditions, enhancing your quality of life.
  • Seamless Process: Our clinic manages all Medicare claims directly, alleviating the administrative burden on you so you can concentrate on your health. Under the Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS), a fee of $60.35 is currently covered, resulting in no gap payment for an initial consultation and a minimal gap for standard chiropractic consultations.
