How We Keep Fees Transparent
At BlueRocket Therapy, we believe transparency builds trust. We keep our fees clear and simple so you can make informed decisions about your services.

Medicare Rebates and Private Health Insurance
Medicare Chronic Condition Management (formerly CDMP)
If you have a chronic condition, your GP can create a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) (replaced GPMP/TCA on 1 July 2025) so you can access up to 5 Medicare-supported allied-health sessions per calendar year (10 for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander patients). A valid referral letter is required from your GP.
What you can claim (as of 1 July 2025)
- Minimum service length: 20 minutes.
- Possible Medicare benefit up to $61.80 per session for eligible allied-health items (e.g., schedule fee $72.65 → 85% benefit). Amounts and rules can change.
- You pay our standard fee, then claim the Medicare rebate; a gap usually applies.
How to get it
- See your GP to confirm eligibility and arrange/refine your plan.
- Obtain a referral letter that meets the new post-1 July 2025 requirements
- Book with BlueRocket; we include the correct MBS item on your invoice for claiming.
Common MBS item codes we use
- Occupational Therapy – 10958 (benefit up to $61.80, as of 1 July 2025)
- Speech Pathology – 10970 (benefit up to $61.80, as of 1 July 2025)

Private Health Insurance (Extras Cover)
Many funds’ Extras cover part of the cost of allied-health services (e.g., OT, speech). Benefits vary by policy, annual limits, waiting periods, and provider registration. Check your policy for what’s included and any caps.
Important rules
- You cannot claim a Medicare CDM/GPCCMP rebate and a private-health rebate for the same service. You must choose one for each session.
- Out-of-pocket amounts may still apply depending on your policy’s limits and fee coverage.
How to claim
- Pay at the time of your appointment.
- Claim through your fund’s app/portal (or in-clinic claiming where available).
- We provide all required details (provider number, service description, and—if you’re claiming Medicare instead—the relevant MBS item code).
