Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get Medicare rebates?
Certain concerns are eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). If you have a valid MHCP/MHTP and referral, you can claim up to 10 Medicare rebates for psychology per calendar year. This will cover some of the appointment cost ($149.05), however, there will be an out-of-pocket amount. Once you reach the Medicare Safety Net for the calendar year, your rebate will be significantly higher. You can discuss with your GP or Psychiatrist if a MHCP/MHTP referral is suitable for you.
How do I request an appointment?
If you're interested in contacting us about an appointment, please give us a call, complete the Enquiry Form on the Contact Us page, or email reception@cheriedaltonpsych.com.au
Do I need a referral?
You do not need a referral to see a psychologist unless you intend to claim a Medicare rebate or seek reimbursement from an insurance company, including WorkCover for your appointments. You do not need a referral to claim from a private health fund.
