Medicare Referrals
Overview 
Medicare Referrals Program for Exercise Physiology Services
Medicare has a new Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Program that aims to provide more preventive care for older Australians & improve coordination of care for people with chronic conditions & complex care needs.
Sport e Coach is a registered allied health provider of Exercise Physiology services under Medicare. This means that you can claim up to 5 visits per year to an Exercise Physiologist (provided you are referred by your GP), to help treat conditions such as osteoporosis, diabetes & obesity.
These visits covered by Medicare Referrals may include the following services:
- Health appraisal/assessment
- Individual exercise plan
- Personal session supervision
- Session update/review.
The benefit of seeing a qualified exercise physiologist is that you know the exercise plan is safe, effective & is specific for your personal health situation. The application of exercise is an intervention (just like medicine) that can help treat your condition & improve quality of life.
