Common questions
- What is Medicare Occupational Therapy?
- Medicare Occupational Therapy refers to OT services that are partially or fully rebated by Medicare. This typically requires a referral from your GP under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan or a Mental Health Treatment Plan, allowing you to access up to 5 or 10 sessions respectively.
- How do I access Medicare OT services with Balance Allied Health Queensland in Greenbank?
- To access our Medicare OT services in Greenbank, you first need to visit your GP. Discuss your needs and ask if you are eligible for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan or a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Your GP can then provide a referral for occupational therapy.
- What conditions are covered by Medicare for OT services?
- Medicare OT primarily covers chronic medical conditions (present for six months or more) under a CDM Plan, or mental health conditions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Our occupational therapists in Greenbank can work with a wide range of conditions to help improve your functional capacity.
- Do you offer paediatric occupational therapy under Medicare?
- Yes, we do. If your child has a chronic condition or mental health concern and their GP deems them eligible for a CDM Plan or Mental Health Treatment Plan, our paediatric occupational therapists in Greenbank can provide support and guidance to you and your child, with sessions partially rebated by Medicare.
- What should I bring to my first appointment?
- Please bring your GP referral letter (including the CDM or Mental Health Treatment Plan), your Medicare card, and any relevant reports or information about your condition. This helps us understand your situation fully and begin your tailored therapy plan.
