EPC Referral System

EPC Referral System

At Excellent Healthcare, we streamline the process of accessing allied health services through our Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Referral System. We are committed in providing timely and effective care to patients with chronic conditions, ensuring they receive the comprehensive support they need to manage their health.

The Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program, now known as the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, allows General Practitioners (GPs) to refer patients with chronic medical conditions to allied health professionals. This referral system enables patients to access a range of services, including physiotherapy, podiatry, dietetics, and more, under Medicare, making it easier and more affordable to manage long-term health issues.

At Excellent Healthcare, we make the EPC referral process straightforward and hassle-free for both patients and GPs:

• Referral from GP:
  Your GP assesses your health needs and provides an EPC referral for the appropriate allied health services. This referral typically covers up to five sessions per calendar year for chronic condition management.
• Booking an Appointment:
  Once you have your referral, you can easily book an appointment with one of our qualified allied health professionals. We offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your needs.
• Comprehensive Assessment:
  During your initial consultation, our allied health professional will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition. This allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
• Treatment and Follow-Up:
  Our team will provide the necessary treatment to help you manage your condition effectively. We also ensure regular follow-ups to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan.
• Medicare Rebates:
  After your appointment, we will process the EPC referral through Medicare. You may be eligible for a rebate that covers a significant portion of the service cost, making your care more affordable.

• Experienced Professionals:
  Our team of allied health experts is skilled in managing a wide range of chronic conditions, providing personalized care to help you achieve better health outcomes.
• Convenient Access:
  We offer a simple and efficient referral process, ensuring that you can access the care you need without unnecessary delays.
• Comprehensive Care:
  From physiotherapy to dietetics, our multidisciplinary team provides a full spectrum of services under the EPC referral system, ensuring all aspects of your health are addressed.
• Patient-Centered Approach:
  We prioritize your needs and preferences, working closely with you and your GP to ensure the best possible care experience.
