If you have private health insurance then you might be entitled to a rebate. Each fund is different so it is worth checking with your fund to see what your entitlements are. Also, after seeing your psychologist he or she may suggest that you see your GP in order to ascertain whether you may be eligible for what is known as a Mental Health Care Treatment Plan. If your GP places you under this plan then you will be entitled to a rebate from Medicare for 10 sessions per calendar year. The rebate generally covers approximately half of the cost of a session.
