Medicare rebates

You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $96.65 per session for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. To receive this rebate, please visit your GP for a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and referral. Some clients may also be eligible for an additional 5 sessions under the former Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plans, which are now called GPCCMPs (General Practitioner Care and Coordination Management Plans). These plans allow GPs to refer a patient for up to five additional subsidised allied health sessions per calendar year, without requiring input from multiple specialists. However, this is at the GP's discretion as to whether the patient is eligible.
