What is a Medicare GPCCMP?

A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), formerly known as a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Plan, is arranged by your GP and provides eligible patients with access to up to five Medicare-subsidised allied health visits per calendar year, including physiotherapy.

GP Chronic Condition Management Plans are generally available to patients with a chronic medical condition that has been present, or is expected to be present, for six months or longer. The five Medicare-subsidised visits are shared across all eligible allied health services.

At Brighton Physiotherapy Clinic, we process your Medicare claim on the spot by bulk billing the Medicare rebate, so you don't need to submit a claim yourself. A $20 gap fee applies per appointment and is payable on the day of treatment. Patients aged 16 years and under are exempt from the gap fee and incur no out-of-pocket costs for Medicare-funded appointments.

A valid GP referral is required before your first appointment.

Speak with your GP to find out if you are eligible for a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP).
