Pathways to make an appointment with Calmness Psychology

 

Access to Medicare rebates (GP referral required)

​Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP)

Eating Disorder Treatment & Management Plan (EDP)​

​

• To access psychology sessions with Medicare rebates, you will need to make an appointment with your GP to obtain a referral. If you are eligible, your GP can provide an appropriate referral, enabling you to claim Medicare rebates for your psychology appointments.

• A Mental Health Care Plan provides access to Medicare rebates for up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year. Individuals with an Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan may be eligible for Medicare rebates for up to 40 sessions per calendar year.

• The current Medicare rebate is $98.95 per session and can be applied to your session fees.

• Session fees are payable in full at the time of your appointment. Once processed, your Medicare rebate will generally be paid into your nominated bank account within 48 hours.

​

We recommend you discuss your suitability for a referral with your regular health practitioner. ​

​​​​​​​

Self-referral (no referral required)​

​

• A referral is not required to book an appointment with Calmness Psychology, and you are welcome to attend as a private client.

• The full session fee is payable at the conclusion of each appointment. While these sessions are not eligible for Medicare rebates, you may be able to claim a benefit through your private health insurance. We recommend contacting your health insurer directly to confirm your level of cover for psychological services.
