Claim Medicare Rebates on Appointments.

With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can claim Medicare rebates on appointments with David Nowland because he is a registered provider with Medicare.

Am I eligible to claim a rebate?

Medicare rebates are available for people with “an assessed mental disorder” that is being managed by a GP under a GP Mental Health Care Plan or through a psychiatrist assessment and management plan, or for treatment of a child, on direct referral from a psychiatrist or a paediatrician.

How do I obtain a referral?

To obtain the initial referral, you will usually need to make an extended appointment with your GP – so the GP can ask questions and complete a Mental Health Care Plan for you.

With this plan, you will be entitled to a Medicare rebate of 10 individual psychological therapy sessions per calendar year. After 6 sessions, David will prepare a brief report for your GP. If you require further treatment, you will need to make a review appointment with your GP to access the remaining 4 sessions and bring the review paperwork to your next appointment.

How do I claim the rebate?

Please bring your Mental Health Care Plan to your first appointment to be eligible for a Medicare rebate. After paying your session fee, David can process your rebate directly with Medicare, and the rebate is usually deposited into your bank account within a few days.
