If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from a doctor, psychiatrist, or paediatrician you will be eligible for Medicare rebates up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
If you have NDIS, Return to Work, or DVA funding for psychological treatment we can charge the relevant places directly and the fee will be at the rate stipulated by these organisations.
Your private health insurance may also cover some of the fees, and so a receipt of payment will be provided so you can make a claim with your private health provider.
Additionally, patients are also welcome to pay the fee privately if they prefer.
Rae's fees:
Individual sessions are of 60 minutes duration, and cost $270, or $235 for Healthcare Card holders. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP you can receive up to 10 Medicare rebates of $145.25 per calendar year, which is refunded back into your account immediately when you pay using a debit bank card.
Couples sessions: $336 for a 60 minute appointment. Some private health funds cover psychological interventions for couples.
Patients whose sessions are paid for by Return to Work SA, DVA and NDIS will be charged in line with the corresponding fee schedule for those organisations.
Linnette's fees:
Individual sessions are of 50 minutes duration, and cost $220, or $185 for Healthcare Card holders. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP you can receive up to 10 Medicare rebates of $98.95 per calendar year, which is refunded back into your account immediately when you pay using a debit bank card.
Full payment is required on the day of service via electronic funds transfer. We will then process your Medicare rebate, and they will pay the rebate directly into the account they have on file for you, or if you have private health, a receipt can be provided to you so that you can submit your claim.
