Private Health Fund Rebates
If you are NOT claiming a Medicare rebate AND you have private health cover that includes psychology services you can claim a private health fund rebate.
Rebates will vary widely depending on your health fund and your level of cover. If in doubt, please check with your health fund or ask your psychologist for a health fund quote when you visit our office.
Medicare Rebates
If you have a valid referral from your doctor we can claim a Medicare rebate for each 50-minute counselling session. Up to 10 rebates can be claimed per calendar year.
Your out-of-pocket cost will be further reduced if you reach the threshold for the Medicare Safety Net scheme. There are two safety net schemes that operate side-by-side:
- The ‘Original’ Medicare Safety Net
- The ‘Extended’ Medicare Safety Net
If your family reaches the extended threshold Medicare will cover 80% of any future out-of-pocket costs for out-of-hospital Medicare services for the remainder of the calendar year.
Learning Assessment Fees
We tailor our assessment services to your child’s specific needs and the exact cost will be quoted at your initial consultation.
A full learning assessment is approximately $3,100 in total (depending on the tests administered) – spread over several weeks and appointments.
However, the total out-of-pocket fee will depend on any private health fund rebates you are entitled to at each of the consultations. (Note: Medicare rebates do not apply to assessments.)
Sessions Required:
- Initial session: $310
- Testing Sessions x 4 @ $310
- Report: $1240 (~4+ hours)
- Feedback Session: $310 (with parents)
- Feedback session with Child – $310
Cancellation Policy
Occasionally there are good reasons for cancellations. However, unlike brief medical appointments, it is nearly impossible to fill a 50+ minute session with short notice. Furthermore, we also dedicate significant time and care to session planning and preparation and there are substantial overhead costs associated with providing you with these services.
For these reasons, we require all clients to agree to the following notice periods in order to use our service:
- For 50 minute appointments, we require at least THREE (3) DAYS notice of cancellation
- For an assessment appointment, we require at least SEVEN (7) DAYS notice of cancellation
- To fully cancel an assessment service we require at least FOURTEEN (14) DAYS notice
