Is osteopathic treatment covered by Medicare?
Yes, Medicare now reimburses most of the fee for your osteopathic treatment in certain conditions.
In the instance that you suffer from chronic pain, your GP can refer you to an Osteopath at AMC for up to five treatments each year.
You must have a referral from your GP to take advantage of this system, so talk to them about an Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan.
