Yes, many private health insurance “extras” policies provide rebates for psychology and some other mental health services. The amount you can claim depends on:
– Your insurer and level of cover;
– Whether you are seeing a psychologist or clinical psychologist; and
– Any annual limits on psychology benefits.
You cannot claim a private health rebate and a Medicare rebate for the same session. For each appointment you’ll need to choose which option you use.
We can provide invoices or receipts so you can lodge your claim directly with your insurer.
