Enhanced Primary Care (EPC)

Medicare funds the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program

In Australia, the Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) program is an initiative aimed at providing additional support and access to allied health services for patients with chronic and complex health conditions. The program is designed to improve the management and outcomes for patients with chronic illnesses, enabling them to receive essential care from healthcare professionals such as chiropractors, physiotherapists, and psychologists.

Under the EPC program, patients with chronic medical conditions are eligible to receive up to five Medicare-subsidized allied health services in a calendar year. To be eligible for an EPC treatment plan, a patient must have a chronic medical condition that has been present, or is likely to be present, for at least six months, or is terminal. Additionally, the condition must require ongoing management and coordination of care between multiple healthcare providers.

The EPC treatment plan is prepared by the patient’s general practitioner (GP) or another medical specialist and outlines the specific allied health services required to address the patient’s health needs. Once the EPC plan is in place, patients can access the services specified in the plan, with a portion of the costs being covered by Medicare.

For patients seeking chiropractic care, the EPC treatment plan offers a valuable opportunity to access ongoing treatment and support. Chiropractors may provide vital care for conditions such as chronic back pain, musculoskeletal disorders, and other chronic health issues. With an EPC plan, patients can receive up to five Medicare-subsidized chiropractic sessions in a calendar year, helping to alleviate the financial burden of ongoing treatment.

At Spineline Chiropractic, we understand the importance of the EPC program in supporting patients with chronic conditions. Our experienced chiropractors are dedicated to providing high-quality care to patients who are eligible for EPC treatment plans. We work closely with GPs and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care for our patients.

If you have a chronic medical condition and believe you may be eligible for the EPC program, we encourage you to discuss this option with your GP.

Then, together, we can develop a personalized EPC treatment plan to help you manage your condition effectively and improve your overall health and well-being. At Spineline Chiropractic, we are committed to supporting our patients on their journey to better health through the EPC program and beyond.
