GP Chronic Condition Management Plans

If your child has a chronic medical condition, they may be eligible for Medicare rebates towards dietitian appointments under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan. Your GP can assess eligibility, prepare the plan and provide a referral for dietetic care.

Eligible patients can generally access up to five Medicare-subsidised individual allied health appointments per calendar year. These appointments are shared across eligible allied health services, rather than five appointments with each practitioner. Eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients may access up to ten services per calendar year.

The standard Medicare rebate for an eligible face-to-face dietitian appointment is currently $63.40. A gap between our consultation fee and the Medicare rebate applies.

Medicare item numbers:

• 10954: Face-to-face dietitian consultation.

• 93000: Video consultation, where Medicare requirements are met.

• 93013: Telephone consultation, where Medicare requirements are met.

A valid referral is required, and your child’s GP Chronic Condition Management Plan must have been prepared or reviewed within the previous 18 months.

Medicare and private health insurance benefits cannot both be claimed for the same appointment.

Existing GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements established before 1 July 2025 may continue to support eligible services until 30 June 2027.

Information checked October 2026. Medicare rebates and eligibility requirements may change.

Eating Disorder Treatment and Management plans

Children and adolescents who meet Medicare’s eligibility criteria may access rebates for up to 20 dietitian appointments over 12 months under an Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan.

Your GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist can assess your child’s eligibility, prepare the plan and provide a referral for dietetic care. The 12-month period starts from the date the plan is prepared.

The standard Medicare rebate is currently $63.40 per eligible consultation, including face-to-face, video and telephone appointments. A gap between our consultation fee and the Medicare rebate applies.

Medicare item numbers:

• 82350: Face-to-face dietitian consultation.

• 93074: Video consultation.

• 93108: Telephone consultation.

Appointments must meet Medicare requirements and be recommended in your child’s plan. Some dietitian appointments claimed under other Medicare arrangements count towards the 20-service limit.

Information checked October 2026. Medicare rebates and eligibility requirements may change.
