STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO Access Medicare Rebates :
If you wish to access Medicare rebates, here are the steps:
1) Make an appointment with your GP.
2) At your appointment, you and your GP complete a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP).
3) Your GP will issue a referral letter addressed to me, with a copy of the MHCP plan attached. Either you or your GP need to email this to me directly, prior to our appointment.
3) I invoice you through the PowerDiary practice management system, according to how your income fits on my sliding scale. You can claim rebates back from Medicare using the receipt issued after payment. Please note: if you come with a Medicare plan, it is your responsibility to pay me in full first the day at least 24 hours before our session, and then lodge the Medicare claim for your rebate independently, unless otherwise agreed.
4) You can return to your GP for a review of your MHCP after the 6th session, in order to unlock the next block of 4 rebated sessions.
