Medicare Rebates
Andrée Evans is a registered provider with Medicare.
To be able to claim the Medicare rebate, you will need to see your GP or Specialist to discuss your eligibility prior to your counselling appointment.
If suitable, your GP will formulate a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
When the GP registers you with Medicare for the Mental Health Treatment Plan, you may request the psychologist of your choice. Alternatively, the GP can refer you to a psychologist he or she recommends.
You may be entitled to a rebate for up to 10 counselling sessions in a calendar year. This can comprise six initial sessions, followed by a review with your GP regarding your progress. The doctor will then decide if you need an additional four sessions.
The current rebate for a 50+ minute session with a psychologist is $84.80.
If you make an appointment with us without a doctor’s referral, you will not be able to claim the Medicare rebate, but some Private Health Insurance Funds cover psychology appointments. Please check your individual cover.
