MENTAL HEALTH CARE TREATMENT PLAN (MHTP or MHCP)

$230 per 50 minute session

Medicare Rebate $98.95

Out-of-pocket expense $131.05

If you are struggling with a mental health concern such as depression or anxiety and many other conditions you may be entitled to a mental health care plan.

If you have a mental health plan from your GP (arranged prior to the session) you will be entitled to 10 sessions per year.

The price is $230 for a 50 minute session with a Medicare rebate of $96.65 - that means your out of pocket expense is $133.35 per session.

The standard fee at Lisa Joseph Psychology ($230) is substantially less than the recommended fee of $311.

Please note the recommended fee of $311 will be charged for report writing, and MHCP sessions where the client has reached the Medicare Safety Net (in which case Medicare will cover 80% of the gap, leaving an out-of-pocket expense of less than $50 for most clients).

Sessions are charged at $230.00 per 50-minute session.

Most private health care providers will reimburse you for psychology sessions with a registered psychologist. Please contact your health provider directly for further details.
