Chiropractic for Department of Veteran Affairs
|
Recongnised Australian Veterans who hold a gold card or white card are eligable for Chiropractic treatment claimed through the government body - Department of Veterans Affairs.
You will have to get a referal from your GP to access 12 treatments under this scheme and revisit your GP after the 12 sessions have been completed for another referal. |
GP referal for Chiropractic Care
|
If you are eligible to do so, through Medicare you are able to get 5 treatments per calendar year for many different health care specialists including Chiropractic. You must go to your GP to obtain a "Referral Form for Chronic Disease Allied Health (Individual) Services under Medicare issued by the Department". This was previously known as an "Enhanced Primary Care" or EPC referal or form.
Nevertheless, 5 treatments on Medicare per year can make a big difference to your quality of life if used wisely! So ask your GP if you are eligible today! |
