Chronic Disease Management
ABOUT CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Chronic disease poses a significant burden to individuals, their families and the community. Our staff are qualified and experienced in working with people with a range of chronic conditions including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, cancer, arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Together with your GP and other health care professionals, we will assist you in learning how to take control and self-manage your own health.
Individual Services
Working one-on-one with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) you will learn to develop strategies for making long-term behaviour change and self-manage your health through exercise and other lifestyle modifications with a view to reducing the risk and/or severity of disease.
Patients can access up to 5 services per calendar year and must be referred by their GP and be managed under an EPC Plan to be eligible for Medicare or Department of Veteran Affairs rebates. Alternatively, patients may choose to pay for these services using their private health insurance cover (N.B. Not all health insurance providers recognise Exercise Physiology services. Patients are encouraged to enquire about their level of cover with their health fund).
Type 2 Diabetes Group Services
Patients deemed suitable for the program will be entitled to 8 one-hour group sessions each calendar year (N.B. These services are in addition to the 5 individual services for patients with a chronic medical condition and complex care needs). Patients must have Type 2 Diabetes, have a relevant care plan in place and be referred by their GP for assessment for group services to be eligible for health rebates. Non-Medicare full-fee paying patients are also welcome to attend.
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Services
People of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who have had a health check with their GP may be eligible for up to 5 individual services per calendar year. (N.B. These services are in addition to the 5 individual services for patients with a chronic medical condition and complex care needs). Medicare rebates are available.
PRICES & PAYMENT
Prices vary depending on the type, length and location of the service provided. Eligible patients may be able to receive Medicare, Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) or private health rebates. HICAPS / EFTPOS facilities are available at both clinics for patient convenience with full payment required at the time of consultation. Cash, cheque and direct deposit are also accepted. For a full list of fees please refer to our price list (currently under review).
MAKING AN APPOINTMENT
Appointments are available at both our Wavell Heights and Springwood clinics.
