Did You Know Medicare Can Help Cover Your Chiropractic Care?

If you're living with a chronic health condition, you may be eligible to access chiropractic care at Whitehorse Family Chiropractic through a Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan — at no cost to you.

What Is a Care Plan?

A Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan — also known as a Care Plan — is a Medicare initiative designed to support patients who have long-term or ongoing health conditions. Through this program, your GP can refer you to Whitehorse Family Chiropractic as part of a structured, coordinated approach to managing your health.

Who May Be Eligible?

You may be eligible for a Care Plan if you have a chronic condition that has lasted, or is expected to last, six months or more. Conditions that may be covered include:

• Back or neck pain

• Arthritis or joint conditions

• Osteoporosis

• Chronic headaches or migraines

• Other ongoing musculoskeletal concerns

Your GP will assess your eligibility and prepare your Care Plan.

What Does a Care Plan Include?

A Care Plan provides:

• Up to 5 chiropractic visits per calendar year under Medicare

• A structured, coordinated approach to managing your condition

• Ongoing communication between your GP and our team to support your care

At Whitehorse Family Chiropractic, all Care Plan visits are bulk billed — meaning there is no out-of-pocket cost to you for these appointments.
