What is the CDM/EPC Program?
Individuals who are being managed by the GP for chronic illness may be eligible for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan, sometimes referred to as an 'EPC' plan. Those referred by their GP to Bluff Road and North Road Physiotherapy under a CDM plan are eligible for up to 5 physiotherapy sessions. These sessions are, in part, subsidised by Medicare.
The out of pocket fee will vary based on the level of experience of your Physiotherapist ($29-$49).
