Glide Policies

At Glide Physio, our consultation fees reflect the level of clinical expertise, time, and high-quality care provided by our Physiotherapists.
 
Initial Consultations
 
Follow-Up Consultations

Respecting Time for Everyone

– At Glide Physio, we are committed to providing timely and efficient care for all patients.

– Your appointment time is reserved especially for you, and late cancellations often prevent others from receiving timely care.

Notice Required

– We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any appointment cancellations or changes.

Cancellation Fee

– Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice or non-attendance without notice will incur a $50 cancellation fee.

– This policy applies to all types of consultations, including private, Medicare, WorkCover, and third-party bookings.

Important for Third-Party Funded Patients

– Please be aware that third parties such as WorkCover, Medicare, or insurers do not cover cancellation fees.

– Any cancellation fee incurred will be your personal responsibility.

– To process your consultation under DVA, you must provide a valid D904 referral form completed by your GP.

Before Your Appointment

– Please ensure your D904 referral form is completed and submitted **before** your first consultation.

– You must also bring your DVA card with you to the appointment.

– We are unable to backdate any referrals received after your appointment date.

If You Don’t Provide a Valid Referral

WorkCover Sessions

– We accept WorkCover Queensland claims for physiotherapy consultations.

– To invoice your session directly to WorkCover, we require all the following documentation on or before your first appointment.

What to Bring

– SMS confirmation that your claim has been approved

– Case Manager details, including their name, phone number and/or email address

– These can usually be found in the WorkCover Queensland app

If You Don’t Provide These Details

– We will not be able to invoice WorkCover directly.

– Instead, you will be responsible for paying privately for your consultation.

Questions or Help?

If you’re unsure what to bring or need help accessing your WorkCover details, please contact us at admin@glidephysio.au.

Where treatment is funded by a third party or insurer (including but not limited to WorkCover, NDIS, CTP, private insurers, and case managers), Glide Physio will issue invoices directly to the approved funding body in accordance with the relevant referral or claim details provided.
 
All invoices issued to third-party payers are subject to our standard payment terms of three (3) business days from the date of invoice. 
 
Late or unpaid invoices may result in the suspension of future appointments until outstanding amounts are settled or appropriate payment arrangements have been confirmed.
 
If claim approval is not granted, or if the client fails to meet the requirements of their insurer or funding body (e.g. providing a current medical certificate, maintaining up-to-date approvals, or following insurer protocols), payment for any completed consultations may become the direct responsibility of the client.
 
It is the responsibility of the third-party payer to ensure invoices are processed within the agreed timeframe. 
Where delays occur due to claim disputes, insufficient approvals, or administrative issues, the payer must notify Glide Physio promptly to discuss resolution.
