​

Managing type 1 diabetes often means working with a team of health professionals—and Medicare offers rebates to help make that care more accessible. If you have a Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDMP) set up by your GP, you may be eligible to receive $61.80 back from Medicare for up to five allied health appointments per calendar year.

​

How a CDMP works:
To access these rebates:

• Book a longer appointment with your GP to create a CDMP

• Your GP will work with you to identify which allied health professionals will support your goals

• Your plan is valid for 12 months from the date it’s created

For people living with type 1 diabetes, this team often includes:

• Credentialled Diabetes Educators

• Dietitians

• Podiatrists

• (And others, depending on your needs)

​

If you’re attending a session with SEE Diabetes—whether in person or via telehealth—your CDMP can be used to claim the Medicare rebate. Just bring a copy to your appointment or email it to us beforehand.
