Important Update re Mental Health Consultations –
Medicare have recently removed item numbers 2712 and 2713 for mental health consultations which may result in some changes to your rebate for mental health appointments.
Please be assured that our doctors remain dedicated to supporting patients with their mental health needs, providing ongoing, compassionate, and high-quality care.
Given that this may ultimately lead to higher out of pocket costs for patients, we recognise you may wish to raise your concerns re Medicare’s discontinuation of these consultation item numbers.
We encourage you to contact your Local Federal member of Parliament if this is the case.
