To see a Dietitian with a Medicare rebate, you need a care plan from your GP.

Steps:

1. Book a longer appointment with your GP (for a Care Plan). 
2. Your GP will assess your health and create a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan. 
3. As part of this plan, your GP can refer you to a Dietitian. 
4. You can receive up to 5 allied health visits per year (shared between services). 
5. Bring your referral to your Dietitian appointment to claim the Medicare rebate. 

Good to know:

• There may be a gap fee depending on the clinic. 
• Your GP manages and reviews your care plan.

2. Ask them to complete a DVA referral form (D904) for Dietitian services. 
3. Once the form is completed, you can book an appointment with a Dietitian. 
4. Provide your DVA card and referral at your appointment. 

Good to know:

• Most Dietitian services are fully covered for eligible DVA clients. 
• The number of visits depends on your clinical needs and approval.
