Medicare & Private Rebates
To assist with payment for psychological services you may be eligible for a rebate under:
​
Mental Health Care Plan
You can speak to your GP about whether you are eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan. This referral will make you eligible for up to 10 sessions per year. This means after paying for your session in full, you can receive a rebate. We can assist with processing your Medicare claim, however we do not hold responsibility for eligibility or processing of Medicare rebates.
​
A Mental Health Care Plan and referral by a GP must be made before a session for a Medicare rebate to apply.
​
Private Health Insurance
Depending on your provider and level of coverage you may be entitled to a rebate from your private health provider. A receipt will be provided to you at the time of payment. You cannot claim both Medicare and private health insurance.
​
Self Referral
You are welcome to receive support without a referral at the standard fee.
Bulk Billing
Please note Allys Johnson does not offer bulk billed services, her rates are significantly below the rate recommended by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) to make services more accessible.
