For detailed information about fees and rebates for each clinician in our Melbourne psychologist team, please contact our friendly reception staff.
All our Melbourne psychologists provide treatment that qualifies for Medicare rebates, helping reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. You can currently claim rebates for up to 10 sessions each calendar year. When you first contact Cova Psychology, we’ll guide you through these options.
To access Medicare rebates, you’ll need a referral from your GP, psychiatrist, or pediatrician. Most clients receive a Mental Health Care Plan from their GP, which is essential for Medicare claims. If you’d like more details on how to access and use Medicare rebates for psychology, visit our Medicare FAQ.
Your GP may give you the referral directly or send it to Cova Psychology. Please bring the referral to your first appointment if you receive it directly. If you have a referral for another psychologist but wish to start therapy at Cova Psychology, you can use the same referral, provided it’s still valid.
We recommend keeping track of your Medicare sessions throughout the year. Our admin team will remind you when new referrals are needed. Remember, Medicare rebates for psychology sessions reset on January 1st each year.
For a full breakdown of Medicare rebates and eligibility, visit our Medicare FAQ or contact our friendly reception team.
Our Melbourne psychologists are registered therapy providers with most private health insurers. Rebates for private psychological sessions vary depending on your provider.
Many private insurers require clients to use their allocated Medicare sessions before claiming private psychological cover. Please check with your health fund for specific details.
