Rebates
Medicare
When seeking children’s speech therapy it is important to be aware that your child may be eligible for Medicare rebates for speech pathology assessment and therapy. Helen Moore is a registered Medicare Australia Provider allowing eligible clients to make claims for services through Medicare.
If your child is eligible, they must have a referral plan from the GP or Paediatrician. The following plan can be used to obtain a rebate from Medicare:
The CDM plan (formerly known as EPC plan) is instigated by your GP and available to those with Chronic Care needs. The plan provides a Medicare rebate for five sessions with an allied health professional per calendar year. It is important to note that only individual sessions can be claimed through a CDM plan. Helen can provide information to assist your GP in deciding if your child is eligible for a CDM Plan.
