The Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, formerly known as Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan, is an Australian Government initiative designed to provide subsidised health services for patients with chronic medical conditions.

Under the CDM plan, eligible patients can access Medicare rebates for a range of allied health services, including podiatry.

It is important to note that the CDM plan covers part of the cost of the podiatry services. The gap fee, or the difference between the Medicare rebate and the podiatrist’s fee, must be covered by the patient.
