EPC is a Medicare program that subsidises fees for Medicare patients with chronic health conditions. Patients will require a referral from their GP, and the program allows a maximum of five visits from different allied health professionals in a calendar year. If the GP referral letter indicates all five podiatry visits have been used, the patient can be bulk billed as a schedule fee. This fee program best suits pensioners and Medicare cardholders.
Note: Patients seeking a podiatrist in Holland Park General Practice will need to pay a GAP fee. To learn more, please call (07) 3088 7638.
