Medicare GPCCMP Referrals & Rebates for Chiropractic Care

Everything you need to know about accessing Medicare rebates for chiropractic visits under the new GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP).

From 1 July 2025, the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) and Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plans were replaced by a single streamlined program — the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP). If you’ve previously claimed chiropractic visits under EPC or CDM, this is the program that now applies to you.

Medicare FAQs for Chiropractic Care

Q. Can I get a Medicare Rebate for Chiropractic?

Yes, but only under specific circumstances.

Chiropractic care is not automatically covered by Medicare. However, if you have a chronic condition and your GP places you on a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate on chiropractic visits.

The GPCCMP is designed for patients who need a structured approach to managing an ongoing health condition. If you qualify, Medicare will contribute toward up to five allied health visits per calendar year, which may include chiropractic care. The 5 visits can be all chiropractic, or split across different allied health providers (e.g. 3 chiropractic + 2 physiotherapy) — your GP decides what’s included in your plan.

The current Medicare rebate for a chiropractic visit (MBS item 10964) is $61.80 per session.

How do I qualify?

To be eligible, you must:

Have a chronic condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, at least six months
Have a current GPCCMP prepared or reviewed by your GP within the last 18 months
Have a written referral letter from your GP for chiropractic services
See an eligible registered chiropractor

If you had a GP Management Plan (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangement (TCA) in place before 1 July 2025, those remain valid until 30 June 2027 — you don’t need to switch immediately.

What happens at the clinic?

You pay the full consultation fee on the day
If the clinic offers Medicare Online claiming, your rebate is submitted electronically and usually deposited into your bank account within 1–2 business days
If not, you can claim the rebate yourself via the Medicare app or your MyGov account

Other important information

Your GPCCMP and referral must be in place before your first visit — Medicare rebates cannot be backdated
You cannot claim both Medicare and private health insurance for the same appointment — you choose one or the other
Your referral is valid for 18 months from your first session (unless your GP specifies otherwise)
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients are eligible for up to 10 allied health visits per calendar year under a GPCCMP

Q. What's the difference between GPCMMP, EPC & CDM ?

GPCCMP, CDM and EPC are three names for the same Medicare pathway at different points in time. The program has been renamed twice, but the purpose has stayed the same — subsidised allied health care, including chiropractic, for patients with a chronic condition.

EPC stands for Enhanced Primary Care. It was the original program name introduced in 1999, and many patients and some GPs still call it this out of habit.

CDM stands for Chronic Disease Management. It replaced EPC in 2005. Under CDM, your GP prepared a GP Management Plan (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangements (TCA) — two separate documents requiring input from at least two other healthcare providers.

GPCCMP stands for GP Chronic Condition Management Plan. It replaced CDM from 1 July 2025. It rolls the old GPMP and TCA into a single, streamlined plan, and the requirement to involve two other providers has been removed.

Q. Can I choose which chiropractor I see under my GPCCMP plan?

Yes. You have the right to choose your preferred chiropractor or clinic, as long as your GP lists “chiropractic” on your GPCCMP referral letter.

Under the new GPCCMP rules (effective 1 July 2025), referrals no longer need to name a specific chiropractor — they only need to specify the type of allied health service (i.e. chiropractic). This means you can take your referral to any eligible registered chiropractor of your choice.

Even if your GP recommends a specific chiropractor — such as a friend, colleague, or someone they regularly refer to — you are not obligated to attend that practitioner. You are free to use your referral with any qualified and registered chiropractor.

If you’d prefer, you can ask your GP to either:

Keep the referral provider-neutral (simply listing “chiropractic”), or
Name your preferred chiropractor directly on the referral letter

Either approach is acceptable under the GPCCMP framework — the choice is yours.

Q. Who is eligible under medicare for Chiropractic care?

Medicare rebates for chiropractic care are only available to people who meet specific eligibility criteria under the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) program.

You may be eligible if:

You have a chronic medical condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, six months or more
Your GP agrees that chiropractic care would be beneficial as part of your overall management plan
You are not currently a resident of a residential aged care facility (different arrangements apply)

Under the new GPCCMP framework (effective 1 July 2025), the previous requirement to involve two or more collaborating health providers has been removed. Your GP can now refer you directly to chiropractic care without needing to coordinate with other allied health professionals first.

How eligibility is determined

Eligibility is determined by your GP during a consultation. They will assess your condition, decide whether you would benefit from a GPCCMP, and if appropriate, prepare the plan and issue a written referral letter for chiropractic services.

The relevant Medicare item numbers your GP claims are:

Item 965 — Preparation of a GPCCMP
Item 967 — Review of a GPCCMP (every 3 months, if clinically appropriate)

(The previous CDM items — 721 for GPMP and 723 for TCA — ceased on 1 July 2025 and have been replaced by the GPCCMP items above.)

Examples of chronic conditions that may qualify

Ongoing neck or back pain
Sciatica or nerve-related pain
Arthritis or degenerative joint issues
Persistent musculoskeletal problems
Postural syndromes or repetitive strain injuries
Headaches or migraines linked to musculoskeletal causes
Any chronic condition where your GP considers chiropractic care a clinically appropriate part of your management plan

There is no fixed list of eligible conditions — it is up to your GP’s clinical judgement to determine whether your condition qualifies.

Q. How do I get placed on an GPCCMP plan?

To be placed on a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP), you’ll need to visit your GP for an assessment. Your GP will decide whether you meet the eligibility criteria for a chronic condition and whether you would benefit from a structured care plan involving allied health professionals, such as a chiropractor.

Steps to get started

Book an appointment with your GP — Let your GP know you’d like to discuss whether you’re eligible for a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP).
Your GP will assess your condition — To qualify, your condition must be ongoing or expected to last more than six months. Under the new GPCCMP rules (effective 1 July 2025), there is no longer a requirement for two or more collaborating providers — your GP can refer you directly.
If eligible, your GP will prepare your plan and referral — Your GP will prepare the GPCCMP and issue a written referral letter for chiropractic services. Referrals are no longer submitted on a structured Medicare form — they are a standard letter that can be signed and sent electronically.
Ask for a copy of the referral letter — The clinic will need this when you book your appointment. Some GPs will send it directly, but it’s always helpful to have a copy for yourself.

How long does it take?

There is no waiting period for the plan to be “approved” by Medicare. Once your GP has prepared the GPCCMP and issued your referral letter, you can book your chiropractic appointment straight away.

However, the plan and referral must be in place before your first visit — Medicare rebates cannot be backdated to visits that occurred before the GPCCMP was prepared.

Tip

If chiropractic care is the main focus of your management plan, you can ask your GP to allocate all 5 visits to chiropractic within the calendar year. Alternatively, you can split the 5 visits across different allied health providers (e.g. chiropractic and physiotherapy) — whatever best suits your management needs.

Q. How long is my GPCCMP referral valid for?

Under the new GPCCMP rules (effective 1 July 2025), your referral letter is valid for 18 months from the date of your first chiropractic session under that referral — unless your GP has specified a different timeframe on the referral itself.

This is separate from the calendar year visit limit. Here’s how the two rules work together:

Referral validity: 18 months from your first session (or whatever your GP specifies on the referral letter)
Visit limit: Up to 5 Medicare-rebated allied health visits per calendar year (1 January – 31 December)

Important to know

Unused visits do not roll over into the next calendar year — the count resets to 5 on 1 January
Your GPCCMP itself must have been prepared or reviewed by your GP within the last 18 months for you to keep accessing Medicare-rebated allied health visits
If your referral spans two calendar years, you can use remaining visits from your annual 5-visit allowance in each year, provided the referral is still within its 18-month validity window

Example: Your GP issues your referral in October 2026 and you have your first session that month. The referral remains valid until April 2028 (18 months later). However, you can only claim Medicare rebates for up to 5 visits in 2026, up to 5 visits in 2027, and your usage will reset again in 2028 — provided the referral is still active.

Q. How Much Does Medicare Typically Cover For Chiropractic Services?

If you qualify under the GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) program, Medicare provides a rebate of $61.80 per eligible chiropractic visit (MBS item 10964, current as of 1 July 2025). You can access up to five rebated allied health visits per calendar year, shared across all the allied health services listed in your GPCCMP.

These visits may be split between services such as chiropractic, physiotherapy, or podiatry, depending on what your GP includes in your management plan and referral.

Do I have to pay anything myself?

Yes. You will need to pay the full consultation fee on the day of your appointment.

If the clinic offers Medicare Online claiming, your rebate will be submitted electronically and deposited into your nominated bank account, usually within 1–2 business days. If the clinic doesn’t offer this, you can claim the rebate yourself through the Medicare app or your MyGov account.

Your out-of-pocket cost (the “gap”) will depend on the total fee charged by the clinic, minus the Medicare rebate.

Example

Standard consultation fee: $78.00
Medicare rebate: $61.80
Gap payable by you: $16.20

Good to know

Rebate amounts are set by Medicare and are indexed each year on 1 July
You cannot claim both Medicare and private health insurance for the same appointment — you choose one or the other
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients are eligible for up to 10 rebated allied health visits per calendar year under a GPCCMP

Q. Can I use my private health insurance cover in conjunction with GPCCMP?

No, you cannot use your private health insurance and Medicare for the same consultation. Medicare rules state that you must choose either to claim the visit under the GPCCMP program or through your private health fund — but not both.

If you are using your GPCCMP entitlements, you will receive a Medicare rebate for each eligible visit, and your private health fund cannot be used for those same visits.

What happens when I’ve used all five GPCCMP visits?

Once you have used all five Medicare-rebated visits for the calendar year, you may then return to claiming through your private health insurance if your policy includes chiropractic cover.

Any additional visits beyond the five GPCCMP entitlements would be privately billed and can be claimed through your health fund, subject to your level of cover.

Tips for managing both

Decide before each appointment how you’d like to claim — Medicare (GPCCMP) or private health — and let the clinic know
Keep track of how many GPCCMP visits you’ve used in the calendar year (your count resets on 1 January)
You can check your remaining allied health visits via your Medicare Online account or the Medicare app

Q. What is meant by chronic conditions and complex care needs?

A chronic condition is any health issue that has lasted, or is expected to last, for six months or more. These are ongoing physical or functional problems that affect your daily life and may benefit from a structured, coordinated approach to care.

Common examples relevant to chiropractic care include:

Ongoing back or neck pain
Sciatica or nerve-related pain
Arthritis or degenerative joint conditions
Persistent musculoskeletal problems
Postural syndromes or repetitive strain injuries
Headaches or migraines linked to musculoskeletal causes
Joint degeneration or chronic postural strain

There is no fixed list of eligible conditions — it is up to your GP’s clinical judgement to determine whether your condition qualifies as chronic and would benefit from a GPCCMP.

What about “complex care needs”?

Under the previous CDM program (which ended on 30 June 2025), patients had to demonstrate “complex care needs” — meaning their condition required input from at least two other collaborating healthcare providers, in addition to their GP.

Under the new GPCCMP framework (effective 1 July 2025), this two-provider requirement has been removed. Your GP can now refer you for chiropractic care under a GPCCMP based on their clinical judgement alone — without needing to involve other allied health professionals first.

This means it is now simpler and faster to access Medicare-rebated chiropractic care if your GP agrees it would benefit your chronic condition.

Q. What if my condition changes — do I need a new GPCCMP referral?

If your condition changes significantly, or you need to see a different type of allied health provider not included in your current plan, your GP may need to update your GPCCMP or issue a new referral letter.

When a new referral or plan update may be needed

Your condition has changed and your current management plan no longer reflects your needs
You want to add a new type of allied health service (e.g. adding podiatry alongside chiropractic)
Your existing referral has reached its 18-month validity period
Your GPCCMP has not been reviewed by your GP within the last 18 months

GPCCMP reviews

Under the new framework, your GP can review your GPCCMP every 3 months if clinically appropriate (MBS item 967). Regular reviews allow your GP to:

Update your management plan as your condition evolves
Issue new or updated referrals
Adjust which allied health services are included in your plan

Important to know

Your existing referral remains valid until it expires (18 months from your first session, or whatever date your GP has specified) — even if your GPCCMP is reviewed
A new referral is only required if you’re being referred for a different type of service, or if your current referral has expired
Always speak with your GP if you’re unsure — they can confirm whether your current paperwork still covers the care you need

Q. Can I split my GPCCMP visits between different services?

Yes. Your five Medicare-rebated allied health visits per calendar year can be split across multiple services based on what’s included in your GPCCMP — for example:

5 chiropractic visits, or
3 chiropractic + 2 physiotherapy visits, or
2 chiropractic + 2 podiatry + 1 physiotherapy visit

How to set this up with your GP

Discuss with your GP which allied health services would best support your condition
Your GP will include these services in your GPCCMP
Your GP will issue a separate referral letter for each type of allied health service (e.g. one referral for chiropractic, another for physiotherapy)

Important to know

Referrals are discipline-specific — a referral for chiropractic cannot be used for physiotherapy, and vice versa
The 5-visit cap applies across all allied health services combined — not 5 visits per service
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients are eligible for up to 10 allied health visits per calendar year, which can also be split across services
You can change how you split your visits during the year — just speak with your GP if you’d like to adjust the mix
Unused visits do not roll over into the next calendar year

Q. Can I see more than one allied health provider under the GPCCMP program?

Yes. Your GPCCMP can include referrals to multiple types of allied health providers, depending on what your GP considers clinically appropriate for your chronic condition. However, the total number of Medicare-rebated visits cannot exceed five per calendar year across all services combined.

How it works

Your GP will list the relevant allied health services in your GPCCMP (e.g. chiropractic, physiotherapy, podiatry)
You’ll receive a separate referral letter for each type of service
You can take each referral to any eligible registered practitioner of your choice — you are not locked into a specific clinic or provider

Eligible allied health professions under the GPCCMP

The full range of allied health services that can be claimed under a GPCCMP includes:

Chiropractors
Physiotherapists
Podiatrists
Osteopaths
Dietitians
Exercise physiologists
Diabetes educators
Occupational therapists
Speech pathologists
Psychologists
Mental health social workers
Audiologists
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers and practitioners

Important to know

The 5-visit cap is shared across all allied health services — not 5 visits per provider type
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients are eligible for up to 10 visits per calendar year
Unused visits do not roll over into the next calendar year — the count resets on 1 January

Q. Once I’m on an GPCCMP plan, how do I get my Medicare rebate?

Once your GP has prepared your GPCCMP and issued your written referral letter for chiropractic services, you can book your appointment with one of our chiropractors.

At your appointment, you will:

Pay the full consultation fee on the day
Have your Medicare claim submitted electronically by the clinic via Medicare Online (if the clinic offers this service)

The Medicare rebate (currently $61.80 per visit under MBS item 10964, as of July 2025) will be deposited directly into your nominated bank account, usually within 1–2 business days.

If your clinic doesn’t offer Medicare Online claiming, you can submit the claim yourself through the Medicare app or your MyGov account.

What you need to bring

A valid GPCCMP referral letter from your GP that lists chiropractic as the referred service
Your Medicare card
Photo ID (recommended for your first visit)

Before your appointment

If you’re unsure whether your referral has been correctly issued, or how many of your five allied health visits you’ve already used this calendar year, you can:

Check your remaining visits via your Medicare Online account or the Medicare app
Speak with your GP to confirm your GPCCMP is current (prepared or reviewed within the last 18 months)
Contact Medicare directly on 132 011 if you have any claiming questions

Good to know

Your GPCCMP and referral must be in place before your first visit — Medicare rebates cannot be backdated
You cannot claim both Medicare and private health insurance for the same visit

Q. Can I Go Directly To A Chiropractor Without A Referral From My Primary Care Physician?

Yes. You can book an appointment with a chiropractor at any time without a referral. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, which means you don’t need to see a GP first — unless you’re planning to claim a Medicare rebate under the GPCCMP program.

If you are paying privately or using your private health insurance extras cover, a referral is not required.

When is a GP referral necessary?

A referral is only required if you want to claim a Medicare rebate for your chiropractic visits. In that case, your GP must:

Assess whether you meet the eligibility criteria for a chronic condition
Prepare a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)
Issue a written referral letter for chiropractic services

Booking options at a glance

Payment method	GP referral needed?
Paying privately (full fee)	No
Private health insurance (extras cover)	No
Medicare rebate via GPCCMP	Yes
WorkCover / TAC claim	Usually yes — check with your case manager
DVA (Department of Veterans’ Affairs)	Yes

Not sure which option suits you?

If you’re unsure whether to claim through Medicare or your private health fund, your chiropractor can talk you through your options at your first visit and help you decide what works best for your care and claiming preferences.

Q. What if I need treatment before I see my GP in regards to an GPCCMPPlan?

If you need chiropractic care before seeing your GP and being placed on a GPCCMP, you are still welcome to book and attend treatment straight away. You don’t need to wait — chiropractors are primary healthcare providers and you can book directly at any time.

However, Medicare will not reimburse any appointments that take place before your GPCCMP and referral are in place. Medicare rebates cannot be backdated.

Your options for earlier visits

Pay privately — you cover the full consultation fee
Claim through private health insurance — if your policy includes chiropractic extras cover, you may be able to claim a rebate through your fund for visits that occur before your GPCCMP is in place

Once your GPCCMP is in place

Your Medicare rebates will only apply to appointments dated on or after:

The date your GP prepared your GPCCMP, and
The date your GP issued your written referral letter for chiropractic services

Any visits before those dates remain privately billed.

Tip

If you suspect you may qualify for a GPCCMP, it’s worth booking a GP appointment as soon as possible to discuss your eligibility. The sooner your plan and referral are in place, the sooner you can start claiming Medicare rebates on your chiropractic visits.

Q. What if Medicare does not pay for my visits?

If Medicare does not pay your rebate, it is usually due to one of the following reasons:

Your GPCCMP has not been prepared or reviewed by your GP within the last 18 months
Your written referral letter did not list chiropractic as the referred service
You have already used your five allowed allied health visits for the calendar year
The visit occurred before your GPCCMP and referral were in place (Medicare rebates cannot be backdated)
You attempted to claim both Medicare and private health insurance for the same visit
Your Medicare card details on file are incorrect or out of date

As the rebate is issued by Medicare directly to you, it is considered a matter between you, your GP, and Medicare. Due to privacy laws, the clinic is unable to access or resolve rebate issues on your behalf.

What should I do next?

Contact Medicare on 132 011 to find out why the claim was declined
Speak with your GP to confirm your GPCCMP is current and your referral letter correctly lists chiropractic services
Check your visit count via your Medicare Online account or the Medicare app to confirm you still have visits remaining for the calendar year
If the issue can be corrected, your GP may be able to update your plan or reissue the referral

Important to know

If Medicare ultimately does not cover the visit, you will still be responsible for the full consultation fee. If you have private health insurance with chiropractic extras cover, you may be able to claim a rebate through your fund instead — but not for the same visit you tried to claim through Medicare.

Q. I have already used my 5 GPCCMP entitlements this year can I have more?

No. Medicare limits you to a maximum of five allied health visits per calendar year under the GPCCMP program. These visits are shared across all referred services (e.g. chiropractic, physiotherapy, podiatry) — not five per practitioner type.

Once you’ve used all five visits, you will not be eligible for further Medicare rebates until 1 January of the following year, when your annual entitlement resets.

Are there any exceptions?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients are eligible for up to 10 allied health visits per calendar year under a GPCCMP
Unused visits do not roll over into the next calendar year

What are my options now?

If you still require ongoing care, you can:

Continue treatment as a private patient and pay the full consultation fee
Use your private health insurance (if your policy includes chiropractic extras cover) to help reduce your out-of-pocket cost

Planning for next year

If you plan to return to the GPCCMP program next calendar year:

Confirm with your GP that your GPCCMP is still current (it must have been prepared or reviewed within the last 18 months)
Make sure you have a valid written referral letter for chiropractic services
Your 5-visit allowance resets on 1 January — you can book your first rebated visit from that date onwards

Tip

Your existing referral letter may still be valid into the new calendar year (referrals are valid for 18 months from your first session). If so, you may not need a new referral — just confirm with your GP before your first visit of the new year.

Q. I’m not sure if I have used my GPCCMP entitlements this year, how do I find out?

If you’ve seen any allied health professionals this year under Medicare (such as a chiropractor, physiotherapist, podiatrist, dietitian or others), it’s possible that you’ve already used some or all of your five available GPCCMP visits for the calendar year.

How to check your remaining visits

There are several easy ways to check:

Medicare app — log in and view your claims history and care plan service usage
Medicare Online account via MyGov — check your claims history under the Medicare section
Call Medicare on 132 011 — have your Medicare card ready when you call and ask how many GPCCMP visits you’ve used so far this calendar year
Speak with your GP — your GP can review your care plan and referral history via the HPOS (Health Professional Online Services) system

Good to know

Your 5-visit allowance is shared across all allied health services combined — not 5 per provider type
The count resets on 1 January each year
Unused visits do not roll over into the next calendar year
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients are eligible for up to 10 visits per calendar year
It’s worth checking your usage before booking so you know whether your visit will be Medicare-rebated or privately billed.

Q. Am I always entitled to 5 GPCCMP visits?

Not necessarily. While Medicare allows a maximum of five rebated allied health visits per calendar year under a GPCCMP, the actual number you receive is determined by your GP’s clinical judgement and what’s included in your management plan.

How your GP decides

Your GP will assess your condition and determine:

Which allied health services would benefit your management plan (e.g. chiropractic, physiotherapy, podiatry)
How to allocate your visits across those services
Whether the full five visits are clinically appropriate, or whether fewer visits would be sufficient

In some cases, your GP may allocate fewer than five visits, or split them across multiple services — for example, three chiropractic + two podiatry, or all five for chiropractic.

Under the new GPCCMP rules

Under the GPCCMP framework (effective 1 July 2025), your GP is no longer required to specify the number of visits on your referral letter. However, they can choose to do so if they prefer.

If your referral does not specify a number, you can use your annual 5-visit Medicare entitlement against that referral as needed — provided the visits are consistent with your GPCCMP and the referral remains valid (18 months from your first session).

Tip

If you believe you would benefit from the full five visits for chiropractic care, speak with your GP during your consultation and request that chiropractic be prioritised in your GPCCMP. Your GP can either:

List chiropractic only on your referral, or
Note that all five Medicare-rebated visits should be allocated to chiropractic care

The final decision rests with your GP, but it’s worth raising your preferences clearly during the consultation.

Q. Does GPCCMP cover for any X-Rays?

No. The GPCCMP program covers eligible allied health consultations only — it does not cover the cost of X-rays or any other diagnostic imaging.

How to access bulk-billed X-rays

If your chiropractor recommends X-rays as part of your assessment, they can refer you to a local radiology clinic that offers bulk billing. This means there is no out-of-pocket cost for eligible Medicare cardholders when using a bulk-billed service.

Important to know

Bulk billing typically applies to standard X-rays only — most plain X-rays referred by a chiropractor are bulk billed at participating radiology clinics
More advanced imaging — such as CT scans or MRIs — may not be bulk billed and could involve an out-of-pocket cost, depending on the provider and the type of referral
Always check with the radiology clinic before your scan to confirm whether bulk billing applies in your case

What to bring to your radiology appointment

Your referral letter from the chiropractor (or GP)
Your Medicare card
Your private health insurance card (if applicable, for any gap payments on non-bulk-billed scans)

Final Thoughts......

Navigating Medicare and GPCCMP referrals can feel confusing at first — but once you understand how the program works, it becomes a straightforward way to access affordable, ongoing chiropractic care for your chronic condition.

Key takeaways

The GPCCMP replaced the old EPC and CDM plans on 1 July 2025 — it’s now a single, streamlined plan with simpler referral requirements
If you have a chronic condition lasting six months or more, speak with your GP about whether a GPCCMP is right for you
Once your plan and referral letter are in place, you can claim a Medicare rebate of $61.80 per visit (under MBS item 10964), for up to five allied health visits per calendar year
You can choose any eligible registered chiropractor — you are not locked into a specific clinic or provider

Your next steps

Book a GP appointment to discuss whether you qualify for a GPCCMP
Get your referral letter listing chiropractic as the referred service
Choose your chiropractor and book your first appointment
Bring your Medicare card and referral letter to your visit
Claim your rebate — either via the clinic’s Medicare Online system, the Medicare app, or your MyGov account

A final note

Most importantly — remember that you’re in control of your healthcare. Ask questions, get clear on your entitlements, and make informed decisions that support your long-term wellbeing.
