Medicare Rebates
AWG Psychology are pleased to offer Medicare Rebates on services. This can occur where psychological issues identified by your GP or Psychiatrist are referred to us under a Mental Health Care Plan. For children, this referral may also be made by a pediatrician. This service is apart of The Better Access to Psychiatrists, Psychologists and General Practitioners through the MedicareBenefits Scheme, a Program that introduced new Medicare Items from the 1st of November 2006.
These new Medicare Items enable people who experience mental health difficulties to access the services of a range of mental health providers, including psychologists. More detailed information is available at: http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/health-pcd-programs-amhpm-pdf-factsheet
AWG Psychology has the latest MediClear EFTPOS facility, meaning that clients paying via their card (when using their cheque or savings account) can have the Medicare rebate immediately reimbursed back into their account. This eliminates the need to attend a Medicare office for your rebate. This option is not available when paying by Credit or cash
Health Insurance Rebates
If you are a member of a Private Health Insurance Fund that covers psychological services you will receive a rebate. It is best to check with your health fund provider to determine how much the rebate will be.
Cancellation Policy
We value your time and ours and request that you let us know within 24 hours of your appointment time if you need to change an appointment. This allows us time to re-organise that day's appointments and offer your appointment to someone else who may be waiting.
The full session fee is charged if you do not give us this opportunity. Please note that Medicare or health insurance rebates are not applicable to cancellation fees.
