Treatments
Who we can treat?
Private Patients
A referral is not required to seek treatment. For private patients, we offer on the spot HICAPS claiming (through your private health insurance), which means you only pay the gap. The gap amount will vary depending on your health fund provider and level of cover.
Medicare Enhanced Primary Care Program (EPC)
For those patients deemed to have a chronic illness or injury that has been assessed and/or is being treated by a GP or another specialist, you may be eligible for up to 5 sessions per calendar year under the Medicare EPC Scheme. Payment is required at the time of consultation (please note Lexington Health is NOT a bulk billing practice), which is then electronically claimed for you through Medicare into your nominated account.
Please note these appointments are not fully covered by Medicare and do incur a GAP payment. The exact Medicare rebate amount can be found by visiting this website.
WorkCover
If you have sustained a work related injury, you will require a referral from your nominated treating Doctor (NTD), a WorkCover Medical Certificate as well as the Insurers details and your workers compensation claim number in order to be treated as a WorkCover patient.
Comprehensive Third Party (CTP)
If you have sustained an injury in a motor vehicle accident and are suffering from injuries such as whiplash, lower back pain or other joint/muscular strains, we provide treatment options to help facilitate your recovery. In order to be treated as a CTP patient you will need to contact your nominated insurer to advise them of your injury and to commence a claim.
These insurer and claim details must be provided prior to starting treatment.
