An MHCP is a support plan for someone who is going through mental health concerns and is obtained through your General Practitioner (GP). A standard MHCP provides you with 10 sessions in a calendar year.
If on a mental health care plan, you will receive a Medicare rebate per session of $98.95 (psychologist) or $145.25 (clinical psychologist).
If you have a Medicare card and a valid GP referral, we will process your Medicare claim for you within 24-48 hours from your session.
1. Book an appointment with your GP. Let them know in advance it’s for a MHCP.
2. During the appointment, your GP may ask questions about your mental health, family's history and symptoms.
In order to access a MHCP, you must have an eligible Medicare card.
