We are more than happy to take care of Medicare Bulk Billing Clients with no out of pocket expense for Psychology Sessions that have been approved by your GP with the appropriate Mental Health Plan referral.

The Chronic Disease Management (formerly Enhanced Primary Care or EPC) — GP services on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) enable GPs to plan and coordinate the health care of patients with chronic or terminal medical conditions.

The Chronic Disease Management Plan allows a patient up to 5 Medicare Bulk Billed visits per calendar year for Chiropractic and or Psychology.

If you have a mental health care plan, you are entitled to a Medicare rebate on up to 10 individual sessions or group appointments with a psychologist in a calendar year. After 6 sessions, you will return to your doctor to revisit how your treatment is going, and then if needed, can access the next 4 sessions.

A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months. There is no list of eligible conditions; however, the CDM items are designed for patients who require a structured approach, including those requiring ongoing care from a multidisciplinary team.
