GP Mental Health Care Plan (Item 2715/2717) Referrals from your GP
When you are referred by your GP under the Mental Health Care Plan, you are initially entitled to six sessions, instead of seeing any psychologist. Following these six sessions, you will see your GP for a review. If you and your GP agree that you would benefit from an additional four sessions, your GP will make an additional referral under the same care plan. When these are completed and you feel you would like other issues addressed, you could still have more Medicare refundable treatment. This is unavailable on Medicare with psychologists.
The required Mental Health Management Plan request form can be downloaded here. You may print this out for your doctor to complete.
Please call the office on 0411 354 000 or email us when you have the Mental Health Plan approved.
As mentioned above your first session is free on Medicare (Mon-Fri Mornings). You do not need any referral at that time. For subsequent sessions that last for about an hour, a fee of $180 is payable.
Medicare refunds you $136.85 every time on site.
When you reach the safety net, Medicare refunds you most of the cost.
Online Claims
For your convenience we have "Mediclear" facilities available on site to save a visit to Medicare office to rebate your claim. You will pay by an EFTPOS Savings, Cheque or Credit accounts. Your Medicare rebate can then be paid directly into an EFTPOS Savings or Cheque account. If you do not have this facility, a receipt to take to Medicare with all the relevant data will be issued at the time of payment.
Private Medical Funds
Medicare does not allow double dipping. Hence we can not provide a second receipt or a copy of the original. If you do not qualify for Medicare, then your private fund may refund fees at various levels. Please check with your fund.
