Information on Chronic Condition Management items available under Medicare for patients with long-term health conditions.
The Chronic Condition Management (CCM) program enables GPs to plan and coordinate the health care of patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions. This includes patients who require a structured approach to their care and those who need ongoing support from a multidisciplinary team (such as a GP working with allied health providers).
What is a chronic medical condition? A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions, and stroke.
Eligibility and Planning Whether you are eligible for a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) is a clinical judgement made by your GP, taking into account your medical condition and care needs.
- The Plan: Your GP will work with you to create a comprehensive plan that outlines your health goals and the services required to achieve them.
- Allied Health Access: Patients with a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan who have complex care needs may be eligible for Medicare rebates for certain allied health services (such as physiotherapy, podiatry, or dietetics) upon referral from their GP.
