Does anyone know under the Chronic Disease Management Plan (what we all knew as EPC's) when you receive the completed Allied Health Referral Form, where the GP is meant to tick off that the patient has a GP Management Plan and Team Care Arrangements. In order for us to be paid by Medicare and for all our paperwork to be correct should the GP provide you with a copy of the care plan?

This is becoming an ongoing headache at our clinic. My understanding is that while they are encouraged to provide it they do no actually have to provide it. Our receptionist is constantly chasing GPs for this and I'm worried that they may start to get fed up with this if they believe that they don't need to provide it??
As a practitioner I appreciate a full medical history and something to let me know why they are being referred but I think they are under no obligation to give me it.
Does anyone know the legal answer?
Thanks
