Exercise Physiology Services for Medicare
At JY Exercise Physiology, we provide specialised Exercise Physiology services to help individuals manage chronic conditions, recover from injuries, and enhance their overall health and wellness. Our services are designed to be accessible and affordable, especially for those eligible for Medicare benefits. If you have a chronic medical condition or complex care needs, you may qualify for Medicare subsidised Exercise Physiology sessions under the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS).
What is Medicare Coverage for Exercise Physiology
Through the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS), eligible patients can access up to 5 subsidized Exercise Physiology sessions per calendar year. These sessions are designed to help manage chronic health conditions and support long-term well-being. To access this benefit, you’ll need a General Practitioner (GP) Management Plan (GPMP), also known as a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan or Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) Plan.
📌 Medicare Rebate: $60.35 per session

How to Access Medicare Fund Services
