For specific information regarding fees and rebates for each clinician in our Melbourne Psychologist Services Team, please contact our friendly reception team.
All of our Melbourne Psychologists are eligible to provide treatment that qualifies for a Medicare rebate, helping to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Currently, you can claim rebates for up to 10 sessions each calendar year. When you contact Cova Psychology for the first time, we will discuss these options with you.
To be eligible for a Medicare rebate, you will need a referral from your doctor (GP, psychiatrist, or pediatrician). Most clients obtain their referral from their GP, who will complete a Mental Health Care Plan. If you are seeing a psychiatrist, only a referral is required.
When scheduling an appointment with your GP, let the clinic know you are seeking a Mental Health Care Plan, as this process usually takes longer than a standard GP consult.
Your GP will either provide the referral directly or send it to Cova Psychology. If you receive the referral, please bring it to your first appointment.
If you have a referral for another psychologist but wish to start treatment at Cova Psychology, you can use that referral as long as it remains current, without needing to change the name.
We encourage you to keep track of your Medicare sessions throughout the year. Cova’s admin team will assist you with reminders when new referrals are due. Remember, the 10 Medicare rebates reset each calendar year on January 1st.
For more information about Medicare rebates, please visit the Australian Psychological Society (APS). If you have further questions about Medicare rebates or wish to book an appointment with one of our Psychologists, don’t hesitate to contact our friendly reception team.
Our Melbourne psychologists are registered with most private health insurance companies. Rebates for private psychological sessions vary greatly between health insurance providers.
Many insurance companies require their clients to have used their allocated Medicare sessions before allowing claims for private psychological cover. Check with your health fund
for details.
