Eating disorder care plan
Does anyone have any experience with the new Medicare eating disorder care plan.
I'm considering getting one but don't understand it.

@NNY drs here cost $130 and above for the consultation 😞 and dieticians and psychologist are even more expensive. There's no bulk billing in Tasmania.

What the !!??
You have to be joking!!
I've never paid for a doctor, ever. But I've always earned less than the minimum wage though, maybe that is why. But still, that is really unfair!
Even my dentist gives me a discount.
Plus $130 is way too expensive!

Re: Eating disorder care plan
@NNY the Tassie health system is stipyd I'm on pension and still pay that. I have to have double appointment coz I need the plan and a few other needs. Normal consult is still over $80. You get medicare rebate AFTER you pay but still out if pocket like $40 and you need money upfront. My old GP was even more expensive, I got a new one last week.

Re: Eating disorder care plan
@The-red-centaur imho you shouldnt have been let out of hospital without followup help with your eating. Is there anyone who you can go to for help regarding this? If possible a gp although I am shocked there is no bulk billing on Tassie :o!

Re: Eating disorder care plan
@Bunniekins the hospital said they couldn't help me coz there's no ED support for adults in Tassie. They said I had to go through my GP.
I'm meant to be seeing my GP today about this.....I'm just too scared now. I'm too fat for them to worry.
