Medicare Rebates for Dietitian Consultations
Eligible clients may be able to access a Medicare rebate for dietitian consultations when referred by their GP under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP).
Tailored Dietetics accepts eligible Medicare referrals for dietitian consultations with an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD).
Who is eligible?
Medicare rebates for allied health services may be available to people with an eligible chronic health condition who are being managed by their GP under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan.
Your GP will determine whether you're eligible and whether dietetic care is appropriate as part of your plan.
If you think you may be eligible, speak with your GP before booking your consultation.
How many consultations can I claim?
Eligible clients may be able to access a limited number of Medicare-subsidised allied health services each calendar year. These services may be shared between different allied health professionals depending on your individual care needs.
For current eligibility requirements, service limits and Medicare rebate amounts, please refer to the Services Australia website or speak with your GP.
What do I need before my consultation?
You'll need a valid Medicare referral for dietetic services from your GP or other eligible medical practitioner.
Please provide your referral to Tailored Dietetics before your consultation so we can check the relevant information and process your Medicare claim where eligible.
If you're unsure whether an existing referral is still valid, please contact us before your appointment or speak with your GP.
How does payment and the Medicare rebate work?
Your consultation fee is processed using your stored payment card following your consultation.
If you have a valid Medicare referral and your consultation meets Medicare requirements, Tailored Dietetics can submit your Medicare claim on your behalf.
Your rebate will be paid by Medicare into the bank account you have registered with them.
Tailored Dietetics does not bulk bill, so an out-of-pocket cost will apply.
