Questions
Medicare EP questions
A GP chronic-condition plan allows a set number of allied health sessions per calendar year, shared across all your allied health providers. How many remain for you depends on your plan and what you have already used - Avanti checks this with you first.
Medicare funding usually starts with a GP referral or management plan. Avanti can confirm what referral details are needed first.
Include your referral and funding details in the enquiry so Avanti can explain the relevant costs and next step.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
Next step
