Whether it's managing pain, improving mobility, or enhancing overall quality of life, Physiotherapy interventions are invaluable. The residents of Oatlands can harness the power of Physiotherapy to address a spectrum of concerns, from musculoskeletal discomfort, to neurological disorders.

Understanding Medicare's CDM/EPC Scheme:
The Medicare EPC/CDM scheme allows individuals with chronic medical conditions to access a range of allied health services, including Physiotherapy. To qualify for the scheme, Oatlands residents must obtain a referral from their general practitioner, outlining a treatment plan that includes Physiotherapy as a key component.
Exercise as a Core Component:
A cornerstone of Physiotherapy is exercise prescription, tailored to individual needs and health conditions. Whether it's addressing pain, improving muscle strength, or enhancing flexibility, FORRM Physiotherapists in Oatlands leverage targeted exercises to optimise outcomes. Through the CDM/EPC scheme, clients can receive financial support for these Physiotherapy services, making health and wellness more accessible.
Maximising Medicare Rebates:
One of the most significant advantages of the CDM/EPC scheme is the opportunity for Oatlands residents to receive rebates for Physiotherapy services. By following the prescribed treatment plan and attending sessions as recommended, individuals can maximise their Medicare rebates, ensuring that the financial burden associated with managing chronic conditions is alleviated.
At FORRM | Strength & Recovery, you will be entitled to a rebate of $60.35 from Medicare for every appointment you attend under the CDM/EPC scheme.
Clients are entitled to a maximum of five (5) CDM/EPC subsidised appointments per calendar year, and can 'mix-and-match' appointments with other allied health professions.
Other common allied health professions covered under the CDM/EPC scheme include the following: Exercise Physiology, Diabetes Educator, Dietitian, Osteopath and Podiatrist.
Having a discussion with your doctor regarding the best type of referral for your situation is paramount. This will ensure that you get the best form of treatment for your unique situation.
