Medicare and physio?


i got a referral from my doctor to go to a physio, so i went under the impression that medicare would cover some of it. but they say physio is private so i cant claim? but i had a referral!! its so much to pay now without medicare, help?

Physio can be very expensive and unfortunatly is not covered under medicare. but if you cant afford it you will have to go on a waiting list at a public hospital (6 months or so) If you urgenty need it sometimes you can be refered to Curtin University where the graduating students do it for free for people who cant afford it.

Ring around to see if any physio do take medicare or ask the doctors if they know of ones that take medicare... otherwise ... sorry. I'm in much the same situation

thats right u cant claim back even if you have a referral, yer i know it sucks

it is not covered under medicare, never has been

Medicare does not cover, physio, occ thereapy, psychology, etc. Medicare only covers proper medical doctors.

You need private health insurance for anything else.

Or you can go to a Public Hospital like RPH and get free physio.
