Who This May Suit
GP-referred physiotherapy may be appropriate for patients who need assessment, treatment planning and rehabilitation support for:
-
Back, neck, shoulder, hip or knee pain
-
Arthritis, joint stiffness or reduced mobility
-
Balance, strength and falls-risk concerns
-
Recovery after injury or surgery
-
Ongoing musculoskeletal conditions
-
Return to activity after a period of reduced movement
Your GP will decide whether a Medicare-rebatable allied health referral pathway is suitable for your health needs.
What Bulk Billing Means
For eligible referred patients, Seraphys may accept the Medicare benefit as full payment for the eligible physiotherapy appointment. This means there may be no out-of-pocket cost for that eligible service.
Please contact us before your appointment to confirm:
-
whether your referral is valid for physiotherapy
-
whether bulk billing applies to your appointment
-
how many sessions are available under your referral
-
whether any non-Medicare services, reports or additional appointments may have separate costs
What To Bring To Your Appointment
Please bring:
-
your GP referral or care plan documents
-
your Medicare card
-
any relevant scans, reports or hospital discharge paperwork
-
a list of current medications, if relevant
-
comfortable clothing for movement assessment
If you are unsure whether your referral is valid, call us before booking and we can help you check what information is needed.
