If you are eligible for the MAC program, it is also highly likely that you are entitled to a referral from your treating GP under the Medicare scheme known as the Chronic Disease Management Plan. Whilst not essential, the CDM plan qualifies you for sizeable rebate for a maximum of 5 visits within a 12-month period for allied health services, including Exercise Physiology.

If you are a DVA cardholder, and it is deemed you are eligible for Exercise Physiology treatment by your treating GP, the entire MAC program including group sessions, will be fully funded by DVA and will attract no out of pocket cost.

You may be able to claim a refund for multiple sessions from your private health fund depending on your provider and level of cover. We recommend checking with your provider if you are unsure. Our HICAPS item codes are 102, 202 and 502.
