GP Management Plan through Medicare

Your child may be eligible for a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP, previously known as an Enhanced Primary Care Plan or EPC).  This provides a Medicare rebate ($52.95 as at 1/7/2018) for up to 5 sessions of allied health services each calendar year.  To be eligible for this plan, your child's medical condition must be considered chronic, meaning it has been present for at least 6 months and they have needs in more than one area. They must also be receiving care from at least two other health professionals. 

Please arrange an appointment with your GP to check eligibility. If eligible, this plan needs to be in place prior to your appointment in order to claim the Medicare rebate. 

Private Health Cover

Check with your individual fund to see if you have cover for Occupational Therapy. The health fund may reimburse part of your OT session fee.

Please note that you can not access Private Health Insurance and Medicare rebates for the same appointment.

NDIS

If your child has an NDIS plan and the plan for therapy supports is self-managed or plan managed then you can use this funding to access Jumping Beings Occupational Therapy.  Currently, Jumping Beings Occupational Therapy is not registered for NDIS so if your NDIS plan is agency managed you will need to choose another NDIS registered provider.
