I’d recommend asking about it. I think it is covered or partly covered by Medicare but you may need to be referred. Do you know the current procedure for this poik?
Needs a referral to be covered by medicare, I don’t think the dietician is covered, the educator is and usually provides some dietary advice during consult.
Thanks.
