Enhanced Care Plan (EPC)

The Chronic Disease Management Plan, also known as the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan, allows eligible patients to receive up to 5 Medicare-rebateable Allied Health appointments per year.

For individuals of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, an additional 5 Medicare-rebateable appointments are available annually.

Please note that these referrals are not standard letters written by your GP but are specific Medicare forms issued to patients with complex chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes.

Your GP can allocate the 5 visits across various Allied Health Providers. For example, you may use 4 visits for podiatry and 1 for psychologist, depending on your needs.

To ensure Priority Podiatry Clinic can utilise your referral, it must be current and addressed to Priority Podiatry Clinic, Mohammed Al Soudani.

To determine if you are eligible for a Chronic Disease Management Plan, please speak with your GP.
