Additional Information
Workcover
My Psych Clinic has a number of psychologsits who provide therapy under WorkCover to help clients return to the workplace.
My Psych Clinic may be able to bill WorkCover directly, however, Workcover does not cover our full fee for all of our clinicians, therefore an out of pocket amount may be payable at the time of your consultation.
We require the following information regarding your claim: claim number, approved number of sessions, and Claim Manager's details. It is your responsibility to confirm eligibility for Workcover.
If the claim is declined, unfortunately, you will be responsible for payment of the full fee.
NDIS
We are not a registered NDIS provider, we are a private practice and set our own fees.
We have some psychologists whose fee will be fully covered by NDIS pricing arrangements and for other psychologists the fee is not fully covered.
We are only able to see NDIS clients who are plan managed or self-managed. For all third party billers, payment is required upfront, and the client is responsible for arranging reimbursement.
For plan managed clients who would like us to assist with claiming the NDIS portion directly from your plan manager, please speak to reception.
Private Health Funds
If you have private health insurance that covers psychological services, we're happy to assist you with processing claims and providing quotes when you visit.
While each health fund offers different levels of coverage, we can swipe your card during your appointment to check your eligibility and potential rebate amount on the spot.
To avoid any surprises, we recommend checking with your health fund before your first appointment.
Cognitive Assessment
You will be quoted a fee prior to any formal assessment depending on the type of assessment. There are no Medicare rebates for assessments and associated reports.
Generally fees range between $1,700 to $3,500, including the comprehensive report.
During an assessment it sometimes becomes clear that further or different testing is required and this may mean a change in fee. If this happens it will be discussed with you at the time and you will be given choices about how you wish to proceed.
Generally, there are no private health fund rebates for this service, however, we recommend you check with your private health fund.
Medicare
With a valid referral from your General Practitioner, Psychiatrist or Paediatrician you can access Medicare rebates.
Medicare rebates are available with a Mental Health Care Plan, Cronic Disease Management, Eating Disorder Treatment Plan, and Complex Neurodevelopmental Services.
We are unable to take responsibility for eligibility or the processing of Medicare rebates, although we will endeavour to assist where we can.
Please note that Medicare currently does not provide rebates for couples therapy.
Reports
Reports and some letters from your psychologist will incur additional costs.
Please discuss your requirements with your psychologist. Payment will be required before the letter or report can be provided.
Payment Platforms
We use Tyro Health Online for both online and in-person payments and rebates. We can proess your rebates and Private Health Claims through our terminal.
Online payments may include a small preauthorisation amount, which will be refunded upon completion of payment. Please feel free to discuss any concerns with us.
We are able to offer payment plans for cognitive assessments to help break the cost over time. Please contact reception to enquire about how to split payments for assessments.
After Hours Surcharge
Appointments booked outside regular office hours will incur a $25 after-hours surcharge.
This applies to appointments scheduled from 5 pm onwards on weekdays and all weekend appointments.
