Fees & Rebates

Fees

Medicare

You may be able to claim Medicare rebates for Dietetic services (Item 10954) if you have a chronic (or terminal) medical condition that is being managed by your GP under both of these Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) items: a GP Management Plan (GPMP) and Team Care Arrangements (TCAs). The need for dietetic services must be directly related to your chronic condition and a maximum of up to 5 allied health services (Items 10950-1970) can be claimed per calendar year. Please see your GP if you believe you may be eligible. Please note that the Medicare rebate ($58.00) does not cover the full cost of the service. There will still be an out of pocket fee. 

Private Health

Ripe Health is a registered dietetics provider with all major health funds, which means that you may be able to claim a rebate through your health fund depending on your level of ‘extras’ cover. Rebates vary between health funds so it is best to contact your health fund to determine what your rebate will be. Please note that clients with Private Health Insurance cannot claim a rebate from their health fund in addition to a rebate from Medicare for a service.
