Rebates

Psychological services are covered by MEDICARE when referred by a psychiatrist or by a general practitioner who assesses you to be eligible for a mental health care plan. Referrals are only required if you wish to claim from medicare. Clients with a mental health care plan can have up to 10 individual services AND up to 12 group therapy services per calendar year.

People concerned about pregnancy are entitled to 3 individual sessions and those with issues about a chronic illness can have 5 individual sessions. See the Medicare Benefits Schedule fees and rebates for psychology items.

Most Private Health Funds provide rebates for psychological services.

• Patients need to be covered by ancillary benefits insurance (extras table)

• Some health funds also require a medical referral. Rebates vary based on your level of cover.

It is advisable to contact your health fund to see if you are eligible for a rebate and to obtain the most current rebate entitlements.
