Fee
A consultation lasts one hour, and the cost is $190. Fees are payable at the time of your appointment by cash, cheque or EFTPOS. Please contact me if you have any questions about the fee.
Medicare Rebates
If you have been assessed by a GP or Psychiatrist as eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan, you will receive a Medicare rebate of $85.20 per session. This allows for a maximum of 10 Medicare sessions in a calendar year. After the first 6 sessions, if a further 4 sessions are required, I send a report to your doctor, who decides whether to authorise the remaining sessions. Rebates cannot be claimed for fees incurred by cancellations.
Health Insurance Rebates
Please check with your private health insurer to determine if you are covered and how much your rebate will be. Most funds provide a rebate depending on your level of coverage. Rebates cannot be claimed for fees incurred by cancellations.
Is a referral needed?
You do not need a referral to consult a Psychologist, however it is needed if you intend to claim the Medicare rebate.
Cancellation Policy
Other than circumstances beyond your control, I reserve the right to charge you the full fee should you fail to attend or cancel within 24 hours of your appointment. Rebates cannot be claimed for fees incurred by cancellations.
