Medicare: With some chronic conditions, the GP may choose to refer you through a Team Care Plan. Medicare provides a rebate for this service (Item 10954 – Dietetic Services).
Dietetic consult rebates are $55.10 a session. Full payment is needed to be made on the day, with the rebate being processed to Medicare for you. Simple and Easy Nutrition does not routinely bulk-bill. |
Department of Veteran Affairs: I am a provider with the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA). If the patient has a Gold Card, there is no fee for the patient for a dietetic consult.
The patient should approach their GP for a referral prior to their dietetic consult. |
Private Health: There is no need for a referral from a doctor to see a dietitian. With some health insurance providers, you can claim a portion of the fee as a rebate. Check with your health insurance provider to see if you’re covered. Simple and Easy Nutrition now has HICAPS to claim your rebates on-the-spot. Remember to bring your Health Fund Card! |
