EIPF Post-operative Physio
Eligible Procedure list
Procedures in the ‘eligible’ column can have the post-op physio item number billed for up to three
months of treatment if the eligible procedure has been performed within 2 ½ years (30months /
130weeks) of the date of injury
This list has been developed to help EIPF providers determine when the post-operative item EIP001 can be
billed. It is not designed to be exhaustive, but to cover the likely compensable procedures for WorkSafe and
TAC clients. If a procedure does not appear on the list, it should be considered ineligible. Regular reviews
will be conducted to ensure EIPF providers are billing in line with this list. Billing of EIP001 following ineligible
procedures will be subject to recovery.
