Fees and Rebates
Medicare
Mayne Psychology Practice provides therapy under the Medicare Better Access Program. Your General Practitioner (GP) will determine whether you are eligible for a Mental Health Treatment plan. Where your GP deems you eligible, you will be entitled to a Medicare Rebate of $89.65 per session. Your GP will prepare a mental health care plan which needs to be submitted to your treating Psychologist in order to claim the Medicare rebate. A referral letter from your Psychiatrist or Paediatrician will also allow you to claim Medicare rebates.
The Medicare rebate is currently available for up to ten sessions per calendar year. During the COVID-19 pandemic the Australian government did raise this to twenty sessions per calendar year, however this has since been reduced to ten sessions.
Private Health Funds
Mayne Psychology Practice will provide you with an invoice and receipt to enable you to claim a private health fund rebate from your private health insurance provider. Please check directly with your provider as to your specific rebates, as this varies across health funds.
You are only able to claim either the Medicare rebate or Private Health fund rebate. If you claim the Medicare rebate, you will not be able to claim the “gap” between the Medicare rebate and your service fee from your private health insurer.
NDIS
Mayne Psychology Practice offers support for NDIS self and plan managed clients. Fees are aligned with the NDIS fee guide and no gap payments are required.
Fee for Services
When making an appointment with Mayne Psychology Practice, that time will be allocated to you and held for you only unless you provide 48 hours notice of a need to change or cancel. Please call and make the change as soon as possible as that time can be given to someone else who may be waiting for an appointment.
If you need to cancel or postpone an appointment, please let Mayne Psychology Practice know as soon as possible. If the session is cancelled within 48 hours of the appointment the full consultation fee may be charged to you.
EFTPOS and Credit Card Facilities are available. Payment will be taken at the end of your consultation.
