In collaboration with your GP, you may qualify for a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) under the Medicare Better Access Program. This entitles you to a Medicare rebate of $98.95 per session for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
How to get one: Book a long appointment with your GP, explain you're experiencing mental health difficulties, and ask about a Mental Health Care Plan. They will assess your eligibility and, if appropriate, write the plan and a referral to a psychologist.
If you are managing a chronic medical condition, you may qualify for a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan from your GP. This allows up to 5 sessions per calendar year with a rebate of $58.00 per session.
Ask your GP whether a CDM plan may be appropriate given your specific medical circumstances.
Rebates may be available through your private health insurer depending on your level of extras cover. Contact your provider directly to confirm your coverage, annual limits, and rebate amount per session.
Please advise your insurer that you are seeing a registered Psychologist. Private health insurance and Medicare rebates cannot be combined for the same session.
