Fee schedule

To comply with government legislation, a fee schedule has been developed outlining the remuneration for services for providers. All AEP’s providing services under the Project are required to comply with the schedule. The program will provide:

• $110.40 for an initial consultation
• $15.80 per group exercise class (max. 12 per patient)
• $50.00 for a review consultation

Figures are inclusive of GST.

Patients will not be able to claim the expo sessions under private health, Medicare or DVA. Patients should be encouraged to continue with their training post expo funded sessions. Other methods of claiming funds may be used after completion of the expo program.

Providers are entitled to seek financial compensation for missed appointments directly from the participant in line with their usual practice. The expo program will not provide any compensation for missed appointments.  Patients are entitled to use all of their program funded sessions. Therefore, if a patient misses a session, they are entitled complete that session as their next attendance.

Invoicing

To receive remuneration for services, AEPs are required to invoice Exercise & Sports Science Australia.

To facilitate claims, all invoices are submitted to the Program via the ExPO email address (expo@essa.org.au). Invoices need to be submitted within three months of the last service date. To streamline the claims process, claims are submitted against each individual patient.

When to invoice?

Providers are able to submit claims at three time points during the patient’s journey through the program. ExPO will typically not take invoices on one session at a time.

• Following the initial consultation.
• Following completion of the first 6 group sessions.
• At the completion of the program (completion of final 6 group sessions and review)

Invoices are required to have:

• Business name and location
• Business ABN
• Invoice number
• Participant name
• Date/s of service
• Type of service (i.e.: initial, group session or review)
• Exercise Professional who completed the session and they provider number
• Bank details.
