  • Patient Care Plan (PCP)
    1. AEP will complete an initial assessment
    2. AEP will develop a PCP for the client at the beginning of the treatment cycle
    3. PCP should identify the condition and include an assessment using validated outcome measures, SMART goals and a proposed treatment plan
  • End of treatment cycle
    1. AEP will send a report to the usual GP
    2. GP will use this report to review progress and assess if further exercise physiology treatment is clinically required
    3. A new referral will then be provided if necessary
  • The treatment cycle does not apply to PT and AEP services for DVA clients who have a Totally Permanent Incapacitated (TPI) Gold Card
  • For other allied health professionals, the treatment cycle is still applicable
  • Invoicing

    1. AEPs can only claim up to 3 initial consultations within a 12 month period, making sure each new consult has a separate referral
    2. Subsequent consultations must be supervised at all times and cannot be provided on the same day as the initial consult
    3. Group sessions require more than 2 people at a time
    4. The DVA does not fund ongoing treatment to promote exercise adherence - no facility fees are paid for by the DVA
  • In order for a referral to be valid, the patient must have a diagnosis/condition and DVA Health Card - the GP must include this info and how the referral to an AEP will assist in managing this condition
