Note your osteopath must be able to provide services under Medicare, so confirm that they do this before accepting an appointment slot. Tell your treating osteopath the name of any other osteopath, physiotherapist or chiropractor who has provided you with treatment during the previous 12 months. This will prevent your current provider from experiencing difficulties in claiming payment for services provided to you.
If you are eligible and have followed the required procedure, your osteopath can claim directly from the DVA for an eligible service they provide to you. You should not have to pay anything out of pocket and osteopaths are not permitted to charge a gap fee to DVA clients.
