Medicare
If you have a Chronic Disease Management Plan, your GP may refer you for speech therapy.
Provides up to five allied health sessions per calendar year (shared across allied health providers).
The current rebate is $61.30 per session (Medicare may update this amount at any time).
You pay the full session fee upfront, then claim the rebate from Medicare yourself.
Your speech pathologist is required to send a letter to your GP at the start and completion of the plan (a Medicare requirement).
Speak with your GP to see if you are eligible.
Private Health Insurance
Depending on your level of cover, you may be able to claim part of the cost of sessions.
Align Allied Health does not use HICAPS.
You pay the full session fee upfront, then claim directly through your insurer.
Please check with your insurer about your level of cover, as rebates vary.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
We are able to support clients who are:
Plan-managed
Self-managed
Align Allied Health is not NDIS-registered, which means we cannot see clients with agency-managed plans.
Clients (or their plan managers) are responsible for managing invoices and funding claims.
Payments
Payment is required in full after each session.
Align Allied Health does not process Medicare, health fund, or NDIS claims on your behalf.
Invoices are provided for you to submit to the relevant funding body.
