Fees
At My Psych Clinic, we believe in providing an affordable service for clients with competitive fees. The current Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended fee is $311 per hour.
To be eligible to receive psychological services under Medicare, a person must be referred by their GP and in some instances by another medical specialist. Speak to your GP about your eligibility to claim these Medicare benefits and the best person to make your referral.
Our current schedule of fees is:
*Cognitive assessments: Fees for assessments vary depending on a variety of factors, including the assessment measures needed and the number of sessions required. However, generally fees range between $1,700 to $3,000, 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.
Payment plans
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.
Private Health Fund Rebates:
It is your responsibility to verify your coverage and eligibility with your private health fund to determine if rebates apply to your psychological services. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide exact rebate amounts without physically processing your card for a quote. Alternatively, you may contact your private health insurer directly to inquire about rebate amounts for your sessions.
Workcover
My Psych Clinic can assist in processing claims for clients eligible for Workcover directly through our Tyro machines. Clients are responsible for their Workcover eligibility and must cover the full fee if their claim is declined.
NDIS
We are able to see NDIS clients who are plan managed or self-managed. Please speak to reception for more information. For all other third party billers, payment is required upfront, and the client is responsible for arranging reimbursement.
Reports:
If you require a report from your psychologist, additional costs will be incurred. Please discuss your requirements with your psychologist.
Medicare Rebates:
If eligible for Medicare rebates, we can assist in processing claims. Please note, however, that we do not assume responsibility for eligibility or rebate processing. Please note that Medicare currently does not provide rebates for couples therapy, cognitive assessments, parenting sessions without the child present, and certain other specific situations.
Payment Platforms:
We use Tyro Health Online for both online and in-person payments and rebates. 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.
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.
